| | The economy is not going to collapse!Sheesh! Go back in the house, Henny Penny! The economy is slowing down, there's problems with the housing market, there's starting to be problems with the job market, the dollar is weak, but the sky is not falling! Slowdowns, and even recessions, are a natural part of an economy. We've been through this before, and we're all still here. We're all still blessed to be Americans, we still have our families, we still have our freedom (unless you're a homeschooler in CA, that is), and as far as I'm aware, none of us are homeless. Many of us have our salvation. None of those things can be taken by a recession. We've been through this before, and guess what? It ended. It didn't last forever. We've had many many years of prosperity since then. As the Bible says, "It came to pass...". It didn't come to stay. Do me a favor, my fellow Xangans and BBers. Ignore the media. The sky is not falling. Do your job, pay your bills, spend less than you make, save some money, get out of debt. Improve your skills if you need to. Get new skills if you need to. Kiss your spouse, hug your kids. Live your life. Trust God for your needs, not the government. Don't let the media scare you or throw you into a panic. It's all going to be ok. Really, it will. Keep your towel handy and try not to panic. |
