It is easy to believe when it is happening to you. It is easy to believe when it is happening to your kids, mom, dad, brothers, sisters and friends. At some point many more people will be out of work. many more people will have to stop going out to eat, take vacations, go to the movies.
You make an interesting point.
I’ve never been good at, or even interested in establishing a budget.
Balancing my checkbook just wasn’t one of my priorities.
I’ve gone from ball-parking my available balance in the Hundreds to the thousands and back to the hundreds.
It’s all about optimism.
