Are you worried about losing your job?
1 comment September 26th, 2008
Even with the sky-is-falling warning from President Bush about our economy and my meeting last week with my financial advisor to find my retirement savings are down 14 percent from a year ago, I still have yet to make big changes in my lifestyle.
I’d already cut down during summer driving across town to shop unless really necessary because of high gas costs. And I’ve been trimming the amount of money I’m giving/spending for gifts. I still eat out occasionally because I no longer have a houseful of people to feed.
But now I’m getting spooked again with yesterday’s news that unemployment in the Rockford metro area was the highest in 17 years at 9.5 percent.
Now this CBS news writer is telling me (and everyone else) some things we should do, just in case more shoes drop: “Prepare to Lose Your Job.”
