Maybe It's a Crisis But We Can Get Through It

I've been reading, hearing and viewing all the crazy stuff going on with our financial institutions. I don't know about you but it makes me a bit nervous. That being said........check history...we've been through this before.....early 1900's...of course, the Depression.......the energy crisis of the 70's...and, hey, we are still here. Let's stop comparing our economy to our own economy of the past! I have a friend who travels to all corners of the world and, in particular, the Middle East and eastern Europe and he tells me that, if we lived under those economic conditions, we would be rioting in the streets.......$6-7 a gallon for gas, milk at $5-6 a gallon......just to name a few we can relate to. Let's recognize that , if we all work together on this...and I mean as families.....we'll get through it. We hear the rhetoric from both sides of the political coin. Everyone has the answer but do you know who has the real answer? We do as individuals. Remember how our parents lived and take a page from that. Save a little more and spend a little less. Sounds too easy, doesn't it??...Try it for a while. No quick fix but a long term one, for sure.
