Money Worries
May 15, 2008

Focus:Family
Action Request:Various
Location:United States
Well-off Americans are starting to feel the pinch, a survey finds. Nearly 2 out of 5 people say the state of their personal finances is fairly or very shaky. More than 3/4 said they thought the economy had fallen into a recession and that the country was "seriously off on the wrong track." 2 out of 5 have more credit card debt.

"Donald Fleckenstein lives comfortably in retirement, but higher food and energy costs still prompted him to trade down from a big American car to a small Honda, to cancel plans for a European vacation and to worry more about how the next generations of his family will fare."

--There is absolutely nothing wrong with this situation. I think this is great that he is reducing his carbon footprint and saving some money!! I hope more people remember the third "R" in being green. Recycle, Reuse, and REDUCE. We need to REDUCE our lifestyle in order to live a more free.
