I wonder when all of the facts are clear and when we are able to access this situation accurately, what the numbers will say. I think that the damage to the economy is very grave. I hope that perhaps some good will come of it and people will learn in the future to save no matter what. I hear that people cannot save, living from paycheck to paycheck...but I see the same people with expensive and to me unnecessary items and using services that to me are not as important as knowing that if some disaster struck they would not immediately be financially devastated. But I was born in 1939. A common wedding gift in my neighborhood was a basket of groceries. We all are who we are according to what we have seen and experienced.
