My main problem is that I'm having to help out my family a lot financially. My son, who isn't married, is in the building trade and picks up work here and there, but never seems to get a full week's work. This means he struggles to pay his rent, etc. My daughter was also in dire straits, having lost her own job, but at least she'd there now to look after her little grandson (my great-grandson) so his mum doesn't have to pay for childcare now she's back at work herself. I've had to help an awful lot there, too. I worry about the fact that our savings have depleted somewhat, now. But - what other choice do you have? You can't see them stuck if you can manage to help out. I know that they'd love to pay me back, but with such high unemployment and continually rising prices, I can't see how they can ever manage to do it? We're not terribly well-off, (is anyone now?) so it worries me a good bit.
