Re: Another round of layoff's where I work
I'll say it again....,
If you can save, save.
This is not just a dip in the economy anymore.
And at the risk of creating a negative picture, I am positively trying to tell everyone I come in contact with to prepare for a bad stretch, because I really don't think it is going to go away this time, not soon anyway.
If you have not seen a decline in your area yet, count your blessings and do what you still can to be able to wait it out, because it simply hasn't gotten to you yet, when it does it will be swift and overnight.
I am only saying it because I see it happening everywhere I look, I am not dreaming and I am not sensationalizing what I see.
I think to some it hasn't even started to sink in how serious and how far this has gone already.
Both our governments have thrown an enormous amount of money in a drain that is way bigger then the plug they're throwing at it!
Much like one bucket of water on a house fire.
For you who think that it is almost over, or that it "should" be coming to an end pretty soon, I hope it will, but it can't hurt to be wise and save up and prepare for the unexpected.
Some feel it will only last for a short while, I think it'll last for a few years or worse!
Call me a defeatist or anything you want (just not late for supper because I'm going to feel it too.) but dammit get with the program and at least do something to look after yourselves and yours. (Forgive me, I CARE!)
I am sure some of you are already and maybe most have.
This is not about who's right or wrong anymore, but what you should do in an uncertain time to help yourself live in an economy that can't support the weight of ignorance much longer.
Worried for you,
PH.
