My blog mentor mentioned that we are in a recession! I must agree that is pretty much common knowledge for most people and if you didn't know, now you do! Personally, I have been pretty much a frugal person most of my adult life. Back in the days my close friends would laugh at me for shopping at second hand stores for furniture and clothing. I didn't care because I made it dew what I needed it do. Understand that just because I would buy some things used, doesn't mean I had to get inferior products. I still purchased polo, guess, Nike etc, I just realized that more affluent donors would wear or use things once and discard them. Along comes the Ward to scoop it up and use it twice.
The reason I say this is because, I realize that it is hard for people, even in a recession, to cut their life styles back to keep on moving 4ward. Some people would rather buy one new Gucci shirt rather than 4 used out fits because of pride. I mean who really knows if your clothes are new or not. Besides if they checking for you that hard, they must have no life either. My father in law just lost his job and he was caught totally of guard, but he is not giving up. But even he has said that by changing his life style has lead to an appreciation for the simpler things in life.
It is really ironic that for so long America has had it good, now our auto makers are in trouble, homes are foreclosing and jobs are leaving faster than a snow ball in the hot sun! I guess if it came down to it, I would live in the back of my van and keep a smile on my face. I am sure I don't need to say that I would move to a much warmer climate-lol!
Oh well, yall hang in there and remember to donate to the cause....Cause we broke suckers....
