Maybe there will be an up side to all this. Things like:
Learning to live within our means
Not trying to keep up with the Jones
Dinner around the kitchen table isn't so bad. (Mom really can cook when she has to)
Parents learn how to say no to their kids every desire.
Kids learn that money doesn't grow on trees.
There's nothing wrong with renting until you can afford to buy a house.
It's not necessary to have the latest and greatest.
There's no disgrace in getting a pair of shoes resoled.
..........
Feel free to add to the list.
