Happy New Year!!!
January 15, 2009 12:04 pm Case Study, Credit, News
As of today most of us have been back in the office for a bit more than a week. Our holiday binging is over and for the most part we are beginning to feel back to normal.
The New Year so far has been filled with doom and gloom from our media in Canada. Sometimes it seems like they get paid some type of bonus for every bad news story they can publish. So with all of this bad news coupled together with a credit card bill that we all are expecting in the next couple of weeks it is no wonder that we feel a little glum.
So this week I have two things I want to discuss.
Firstly I am going to suggest that we all make a concerted effort to pay down our consumer debt in the first quarter of 2009. I am not a credit councilor but I know that paying down your high interest rate consumer debt is good place to start.
Secondly I am telling everyone I know that participating in the recession is a choice. If people want to join The Sky Is Falling Club let them but you can make a choice not to join. So in my case instead of feeling sorry for myself I have tripled my marketing this year and have worked hard to know where my money is going and to reduce my expenses.
I have made a commitment to end 2009 in a far better position than I entered it regardless what the media has to say about our economy.
I hope you join with me.
Happy New Year!!!
