Show me the Money!

I have had a substantial increase in career related questions and that biggest question is "Will I be ok financially?"  For many people the sad truth is that you will not be as comfortable as you used to be.  You may have to give up your 5 bedroom home and downgrade to an apartment.  You may have to turn off the cable and cell phones.  You may even have to stop dining eat.  However there is a silver lining to this dark cloud.  The recent down turn in the economy is showing many of us how to live on less and enjoy the simple pleasures of life more.  Recently my family and I visited a local farm instead of renting a cabin in the mountains.  We enjoyed being able to have a good time on less than $20.  I have also learned how to cook more food with less ingredients [:)]  However for those of you who miss the "good life," do not fret.  By the end of 2010, the economy will change for the better and you will be a ble to breathe a little easier about stopping at Starbucks every morning.
