Tough Times in the Economy

Wow, its been a couple weeks since I last posted anything....well, I'll try to catch everyone up with some pictures later but for the time being its probably the economy thats on my mind most! On top of the ridiculous gas crisis that the state of Georgia is facing right now due to Hurricane's Gustav and Ike, our country is facing one of the biggest economic windfalls in history....what's happening to good ol' US of A? I can't help but worry about Matt and I's job security. While consulting firms tend to do better during times like these - I'm not so sure about Matt's financial world.
We're doing out part when it comes to the gas crisis....working from home in an effort to conserve....should we be doing the same with our money? I'm thinking so. We were thinking about putting our lovely townhome on the market in the spring, but that doesn't seem like the best idea these days....we might just wait this out a couple more years and enjoy our low mortgage payment and 5% interest rate. That trip to Greece next summer isn't looking like the best idea either.....who knows. Hopefully McCain will get elected and we won't have to worry as much about raised taxes and an inexperienced leader of the free world....but thats a whole other tangent. Wow...if only getting older was easier? I'm tired of growing up! These are just a few things that Matt and I are concerned about these days....I'll try to write something more cheerful next time.....
