When I'm beset with financial worries these days - and who isn't? - I realize I have a choice of two reactions: fear, or going into action. Action for me means either by reviewing my expenses or asking myself what I can do to generate income.I love your friend's advice.

I began to slow down, then realized the cars were completely stopped in a traffic jam. I knew I was driving too fast to stop in time and I was going to crash.

Since we are in a mode where all bets are off (that is, the "safe" job you aimed for, the security you counted on, isn't necessarily going to be there now) why not go for it?

I was reading an article in the Times yesterday about how people's Plan B's have taken a turn, how the dream goal was falling off the radar screen because of the survival mode awakened by the economy.

Perhaps we need to be realistic and build stronger contingency plans or take a temporary detour for a year or two during this ACWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12298402039722869768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36128469.post-53946662618938243182009-02-09T08:32:00.000-05:002009-02-09T08:32:00.000-05:00What terrific advice she offered!
