Money doesn't grown off of trees.The old saying that every kid hates to hear. A very true statement that most adults don't want to hear as well, although we are aware it. In the past few years with the jobless rate increasing our lives have changed.Those with jobs are trying to maintain with that job and with that may come stress. Being overworked and underpaid.Doing two positions with the same pay, which makes one upset and want to quit.Then when the company finally gets rid of the person then they are so relieved.Filing unemployment and taking a break.Taking time to get one's self together mentally and physically.
Of course, there is a concern and a disbelief that there is no job. Not enough to pay the current bills at hand. Time to downsize. Some people are aloof and gasp at the mere thought of doing less. We have been condition through society that more is better, when in fact most of what we have are luxuries.Luxuries not necessities. Cable, Internet at home, video games, brand name clothes/purses, and yes even our car's. Time to get that used 4 cylinder and sell that SUV.Then we get down to the basics- Shelter, food, water, clothes(reasonable).
To some people of different backgrounds such as people on a fixed income & low income, this is nothing new to them because they HAVE to budget.Then when days are better and jobs are back, maybe we should keep the same frame of mind when it comes to budgeting. Live well, be conscious.
