Today’s Economy is worth mentioning. So many people are scared poo-less about where our country is going. I think that it’s important to remember that this HAS happened before. Big Oil has been in front of Congress at least once per decade for price gouging at the pump, with no effect mind you, and no real relief. In the 1980’s alone, the cost of living went up nearly 80% (everybody remembers the interest rates back then, especially on their CD’s). Our government is not going to go, “Aw, hell! Just hang it up! Throw in the towel!” It will be OK. Don’t get me wrong, some tough times await, and this is precisely why we need to have a better handle on our finances. This should not be a time when we are facing loosing our homes, cars, jobs, etc due to financial unrest. This should be a wake up call to save. Maybe not $500.00 a month, or even $100.00 a month. Maybe just $10.00 a month in a savings account or something. Save your change. The important thing is to have the discipline to put the money away, and not touch it unless you HAVE NO CHOICE.
