I Haven’t Felt The Recession Crunch Yet

It’s cold outside and we even had a few snow flurries yesterday, all the leaves are falling from the trees and blowing all over the place. I don’t look forward to this Winter at all because I think we’re headed for a rough one. The only bright spot I see is not having a 9-5 job that I have to worry about driving in all of the mess that I’m anticipating. However that doesn’t mean that I might not be looking for one soon if things continue the way they are.

I have noticed so many businesses closing around town and it’s very scary with the economy the way it is. Even though my partner has a really good job right now he works for a small business none the less. We’re concerned about the taxes the Obama administration is planning for companies that make over 250,000 a year. When that actually goes into effect I have a feeling they might just close the door because of some past difficulty and then we’ll really feel the recession crunch.

Americans everywhere are anticipating some miracles in the near future with our economy, but I don’t share that optimism I’m sorry to say. I would love to feel positive, but it just hasn’t happened for me yet, but we shall see. At least we’ll be rid of the Bush admin and as far as I’m concerned the worse 8 years our country has endured. At least gas prices have come down some so that’s at least one bright spot, but food prices have increased along with many other things.

People are doing their best to survive and cutting down on unnecessary purchases, but with Christmas coming parents do like to make their children happy and splurge on them, but not everyone will be able to do as much as in past years. At least we know from past recessions that they don’t last forever and it’s a cycle so the goal during these trying times is to ride the wave and survive and conserve as much as possible, even with tax cuts it’s still going to be rough.
