Economy 09

What a scary time we are living in! If you have a job thank God and if you don't, pray to God that you find one. At this time, I don't believe anyone can think they are secure in their jobs, and if you do believe that I think you are crazy!

I will admit, I am guilty... I still have a problem giving up SOME of my guilty pleasures, but I am trying to stay within my means. Like no more baskets, no trips to the mall just because, no Tigers packages, etc.. It makes me mad to see people spend like there is no tomorrow! These are the people that will be standing in the front of the line with their hands out. And believe me, I know some of these people and I just want to shake them. I think we should all work on saving money and paying off the bills we have already created, not create more bills or spend more money.

I know, people can do whatever they want, who am I to say? And again, I'm not perfect either but I am to the point where I am scared for the future of my family. Sure Matt and I only have ourselves to look after but we are no different. We have become accustomed to living a certain way and have bills just like anyone else. Believe me, we would not be able to survive for very long if either one of us lost our jobs at this point. I'm not a politician ( I pay my taxes- haha) so I don't have the answers, I just pray everyone takes the economy serious and doesn't just expect it to fix itself, or think the Obama is going to save us any time soon.
