Times have just been strange.  My savings are literally vanishing…everyday, right before my very eyes.  Yet, I’m trying not to change anything.

For every 1 article like this one where Target opens a couple new stores, I read articles like this one where Hawaii lost nearly 1000 jobs in a month or this one where Circuit City is closing or this one where E&O Restaurant is closing leaving 1 restaurant where there used to be 4.

My retirment savings and investments are down nearly 40% from it’s peak.

Yes, I know it’s not money I need right now, but still.  That’s A LOT of money just gone.  How do you cope with that?

I know a couple people laid off.  They are no longer show up when I type their names in my company directory.  What am I supposed to say to them.

I’m just a little worried…okay, little is an understatement, but what can you do?  I just don’t know.
