Has the lousy economy brought your family closer?

I'm working on a story for the newspaper about how the lousy economy has actually been good for families. It brings us closer together for a variety of reasons (working together to solve a problem, less focus on materialism, less money for movies and focusing on free fun like family game night, etc.).

I'm wondering...do any of you share my philosophy? Have any of you seen some good come out of having less money (as it related to your family)? Would you be willing to share your story/be photographed for a story to run Sept. 17 in the newspaper?
