Being Prepared

"By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail."
Benjamin Franklin

After many years of having a good economy and very little worries about jobs and money we find ourselves in a very different situation now. The economy is slowing and unemployment is rising every month. Uncertainty is part of our everyday life these days. But how do rise above worry and fear and move towards the comfort that we are prepared for the future, that we can take care of ourselves and our families.
We can buy what we need.
In most cases this is true, but what about when when we are faced with loss of employment, injury or natural disaster. These days many people have been losing their jobs and sometimes that is the only source of income for a family. We may not always be able to purchase what we want be we can survive quit well if we take the time to prepare.
