Here we go again.....jobs. sigh.

The numbers are out that we are up again in job losses. Well, with companies that Chrysler and GM filing bankruptcy and closing plants....isn't this news kind of expected? I am not any kind of "financial guru" or expert by any means. Yes, I did study Business at UW but really, I think I was trying to study romantic relationships and how NOT to study more that my real major. So, if I could see this coming....I don't understand how or why the stock market is freaking out and news media like CNBC or Fox News are making this sound like the sky is falling! Does it look good??? Not really..but there are other indicators out there that the economy is at least getting a little better. Unemployment isn't the ONLY statistic out there. Praise God for that!!!!


So, let's just all just take a breath and make a plan to get thing going the right way. This up and down, over depressed or over excited attitude doesn't do anything to help your health, your wealth, or your mind!!!! And trust me, if anyone should be freaking out...it should be me. I am a wife of a car dealer who owns a single-point Chrysler store in Spokane, WA!!!!

What shall we do? Spend what you have budgeted and save what you have in mind as well! Don't stop everything! Sigh. How is this economy supposed to turn around if no one spends any money? Go crazy and buy everything? NO..that's how we got into this mess...but let's just go back to what is good fiscal planning. Save, Spend, Budget.

Anyway...we ARE open this weekend...yes, even July 4th! Stop by and test drive some cars! You might even fall in love with one and take it home!
