Suffering through a recession depression? That’s what Nina calls it..
You may all know that most of the family are on Facebook as well. We interact with the family there through “statuses”, comments, and postings. It’s a fun way to get in touch with family and also to get to know the people in the family you haven’t even met yet.
Recently, I commented on the status that most people are posting how tired they are and that they need more sleep and so on. I thought it was really just the change in time. Moving forward one hour takes it’s toll on all Facebook members. Then, Nina commented – “It’s recession depression”! Then it hit me.
Many people are re-aligning their finances due to the economic meltdown. This crisis is expected to hang until the end of the year at best. Otherwise, we may still be going through it until early next year. Have you done your part yet? Not in spending but in re-aligning your finances?
If you are burdened with a lot of credit card debt, consider balance transfer. If your credit is good and you need a better rate, either call your credit card and ask them if they are willing to lower your rate or better yet, visit http://dealsforcreditcards.com. You can compare balance transfer fees or find the best credit cards that match your situation. For example, you may have a small business and require a card that offers a better term… or personally, you may be looking for Low Interest Credit Cards with 0% APR Balance Transfers where you can avail of transferring your high rate credit cards for consolidation and so forth. Just imagine the money you’re going to save.
I did that two years in a row and was able to save hundreds of dollars in interests. Maybe it will lift us all up and get us back to being more energetic again.
