We are at a time in this country where we have to face many realities. The economy is not very stable right now so it can be pretty scary at times. Gas prices are causing people to think twice before driving anywhere. We have to plan ahead and get as much done as we can in less trips. This is also causing food prices to rise quite a bit. Gas prices affect many businesses as well as everyday people. They have to pass the costs on to us as consumers.

As we are dealing with rising prices we are not making any more money so where will the money come from? Many people are getting way over their heads in debt and do not know what to do. Everyday you see more and more houses being foreclosed on. I am even starting to see more small businesses closing down. As time goes on these problems affect more and more people. Major companies are doing lay-offs. Some big companies around our town are completely closing the branches in our area.

Now the people that were already hurting from higher fuel and food costs are faced with possibly no job. We all need to think about how this could effect our lives. What things in our life could change if this continues? What spending might we have to cut back on? Can we try to save more money in case we need it in the future?

All of these things need to be planned through and talked about as a family. If you start to see yourself getting late on bills or having trouble keeping up you need to catch it before it spirals out of control. If you do not handle it and plan ahead you will find yourself drowning in debt before you know it. It may be better to consolidate debt before it gets so far that you are faced with possibly losing your house.
