It has been fascinating for me to watch our countries elected leaders try to manage this debt crisis. Years of short-term and short-sited policies have put us in a very bad position. A number of households find themselves in a similar situation. As bad as it is, a crisis can open the door to amazing opportunity. We have one now. The question is will we act, or will we be paralyzed in fear and leave it to another day or worse yet – another generation. We have to look at the reality of our circumstances and make the hard decisions. Pretending it will just go away is about the worst thing we can do.
What opportunities do you have right now because of your circumstances? Are you in the midst of a financial crisis? Take a breath. The first thing you need to do is kill the fear that is causing you to live in a state of denial. Don’t pretend it will just go away. Take an honest look at your situation and don't be afraid to ask for help. This crisis might be the start of something profound.
