With an increase in unemployment anticipated at up to 10% nationwide by 2010, many of us will be using are retirement savings just to get by, especially if we lose a job, or our home. I think this may be a good experience for our youth to understand what can happen and that we need to be responsible for managing our money properly, and relying more on ourself, than a job from an employer.

How am I supposed to have confidence in our leaders and our economy if even in the face of the worst economy in 80 years, we are still not able to pull together, and work towards the common good. People can be good to each other, but I fear that by the time we realize that- it will simply be too late.

A few months ago on this blog we debated this very issue extensively, and I think that we all eventually agreed that business confidence is a good thing, and is important, but is not the lynchpin. Some other factors have to be helping the economy to grow if it is to stay strong. Personally, I feel good about the economy now that we have responsible people taking care of it.
