I feel like we are in a global "correctioning" so even though my wife was laid off last Monday, we are not panicing. GOD is taken care of us. I know most people look at losing a job as a bad thing but you have to look at it as your chance to potentially work for yourself. Now i'm not saying my wife and I are just spending spending spending, however we do know that something good is coming out of this. We are in the process of looking for a house and even though foreclosure rate has skyrocketed, this is an excellent time to buy. House values, car values(Honda excluded) were inflated for many years and now things are correcting themselves(Honda excluded). So try to find something good out of all of this. Who know's my wife may end up opening her own business.
