How many buzzwords does it take to scare the living daylights out of the average American. If we look at current economic markets, you would think that everything is crashing in around us. In contrary I say this, let’s face it most of us in 401k plans and doing day trading, understand that the stock market is volatile I mean after all its all depends on what others perceive the value of a company is.

What drives me insane are the speculators that start selling at the drop of a hat, was it really that big of surprise people that the major car companies had a bad year, or that the financial institutions have a large amount of consumers no longer able to pay for their products. It’s not called a recession for nothing but instead of riding the waves we are throwing money and people in trying to rescue everybody under sun. Even those that haven’t asked for a rescue in the past now have their hands out.

Let’s be honest, I mean we are all rationally thinking people, it is going to get a lot worst before it gets better. We are all going to have to tightened up and do the things we should have been doing when the economy was great which is living within our means, stop trying to catch up with the Joneses and get yourself in order. As long as your family has a roof over their heads, 3 square meals a day and your not pulling your hair out who cares wtf everyone else has.
