The Freedom to Choose

As I see and read the news of how the economy and the government budget cuts are affecting jobs across the country, I am grateful for the position I'm in...not my professional position, but my financial one.

If I were to be laid off, I would be ok. I wouldn't HAVE to run out and get another job. I wouldn't HAVE to do anything but choose what will work for my family.

Why? Because I spent the past few years making focused decisions to reduce my family's cost of living. Rather than upgrade to bigger, "supposedly better," pricier cars and house, we remained frugal.

And, I am ever grateful for the position we are in at this time.
