Economic Times

As a Dad who grew up in the 60's and 70's, my money went a lot farther than it does today. I'm watching the news casts and a few YouTube video's like many of you. I'm concerned about how my adult children and grandchildren will make it in the future. These forecasts are getting many of the experts concerned and it fills the news casts each day. What I recommend to anyone wondering what to do is take a serious look at your situation. Review your expenses vs your income. Make the tough choices. Ask for help from those you know that have been successful in reducing their debt. Think about what is really important in your life.

If possible take a bag lunch, ride to work with others if possible, learn to eat at home vs eating out as much, don't drink so many soda's or coffee, but mainly think before you purchase anything! Do I really need that? A little sacrifice won't hurt you and it may surprise you how much you can save. Once you are out of debt, save as much money as possible for that "Rainy Day!" Honestly it happens to everyone, expect it, plan for it. Don't panic! But from a concerned Dad, figure out how you can get through these tough times. Don't expect someone (family, state, fed's) will take care of you because of your stupidity! Grow up! Take responsibility for your choices! You will be a lot happier in the end!
