Everybody is different Gary. Some people don't want their friends and family to know they're having problems. They feel like they have failed and don't want people to know. Nothing to be ashamed of in this economy. Most of us are hanging on by a thread, we may not realize it but we are.

I totally agree with you Hank. I just want to add that ...sometimes people won't ask for help, but they will take it if you don't just offer to help them, but you offer to help their family.
