Wow. What a depressing day this has been. Glenn Beck (and Ross Perot, for that matter) have been shouting from the rooftops for years about our pending economic doom and they’ve finally been exonerated. They can no longer be laughed at; people snickering and pointing, whispering “Chicken Little” under their breaths. They were right!
Even after more than a week of listening to talk radio and watching news programs, I am still pretty much as confused as I was initially. I know the basics and I’ve heard the frightening statistics and it scares the living crap out of me! As long as my husband and I can keep our jobs, we’ll be fine. He works in property management and I’m in mining. Typically, when the economy takes a dump, mining booms, so I’m more than likely going to be fine. But, who knows if our jobs are truly stable? Thank God neither of us is in retail or housing or the financial industry. It seems like those will be the worst hit. What about all of my friends and family? Are their jobs safe? I don’t think anyone’s job is truly safe. Well, maybe the medical field. I don’t know. I know I’m rambling. I’ve just been sick to my stomach listening to Glenn Beck today. I purposely didn’t listen to Darrell Ankarlo this morning just to give myself a break. But, as soon as I turned on Glenn Beck, it was all economy, all the time.
I realize that it’s depressing and long, but it’s worth the read, if you want to be prepared for what’s ahead. http://wsj.com/article/SB122186563104158747.html#printMode
Anyways, I know I just need to think positively because there’s not much I can do except: write my representatives, don’t spend more than I really need to, save, save, save! Oh, and PRAY!
Sorry to be bring you down, but everyone needs to be as prepared as we possibly can! Don’t bury your head in the sand. Ignoring the facts won’t do anything to help you.
That’s all.
