During the Great Depression my great grandpa lived on a farm outside of Harvard with three other families.  They hunted, fished and trapped to be able to have food for everyone that lived in the house.  My dad said that grandpa would tell how many nights he did not eat so the kids and women would have something to eat.  They all would sleep in one room usually the living room around the wood stove so that they all could stay warm without using so much wood. They were able to cut down trees on the farm to provide the fuel that would heat their living room.  Great Grandpa said they tried to sell wood to other families but no one could afford it so a lot of the times they would give the wood away to help other families stay warm. As the depression slowly moved on Great Grandpa decided to leave the family to try and find work.  He would stay away for weeks at a time, a lot of the time he would go where the work was.  He worked on bigger farms during the harvest; he also worked in the stockyard in Chicago and eventually worked for the railroad till the end of the depression.  While working at all these different jobs he barely made enough money to provide food for his family let alone to try and save money.  Once the depression ended my great grandpa was able to return home to a family that survived the depression without anyone dying.  The family stayed together through this terrible horrific time.

Mom was an environmental consultant and development significantly decreased. Therefore, there was less demand for Mom’s expertise. As a result, she did not lose her job, however, her position was cut to hourly based on need. Mom had to work 2 additional jobs to make up for the income loss. She then found a new and better job. We were living in New Jersey.

My family's overall home owners insurance increased the monthly price by about four percent, otherwise my family wasn't affected much by the Great Recession. But I wonder how it must have felt for the innocent men and women who lost homes, jobs, and etc from this horrible event.

Only one of my parents were working at the time. Money was a little tight because bonus's for my dad went down. My mom went back to work towards the end of the Great Recession because by that point all of the kids in my family were older so she didn't need to be home during the day.

I wasn't really affected by the Great Recession and I never really found out about it until I learned about it in school later on. My parents never told me about it but looking back on it I remember them saying that we had to start eating out at restaurants less. But my parents were actually building my current house at this time because it was cheaper.

Recession- My family was already settled and saved up on the house they wanted to raise me in so we were not bothered by the fact that it was hard to buy and sell houses at correct values. We did loose money through stocks my parents were invested in

My dad lost a huge government contract because of the Recession. This affected what we could have as well as eat. We barely had enough money for food and electricity and everything. Almost lost the house, our cars....Our life...Even today we don't have as much as we would have. Sure, I live a very lavish life, I'm lucky to have it and I'm lucky to have everything I have. Hell, I'm more than lucky to have what I have. I'm just glad we bounced back relatively well. Don't take the things you have for granted, you never know when that'll all be taken from you.

my family and I moved here from North Carolina. We purchased a lot and built a house and during this recession and it was very expensive to find and buy property. Because of this, pricing for everything including taxes and mortgage were inflated and we payed way more than we could afford. We have since moved into a new house in Cary once the market got better
