A Bitter Crunch
August 4th, 2008
In the news just the other day, the popular coffee chain, Starbucks is closing a lot of its branches here in Australia. It comes as no surprise to us, with the expected economic slowdown. However, what comes to mind are those people who will soon lose their jobs.
It’s as if it’s not enough that many of them are working hard to survive day to day along with paying-off existing loans or already working on credit repair schemes. Although the employment rate remains stable, it is still no guarantee that these people will soon be out of credit.
No one knows how long this economic downturn will be. Companies offering credit repair services should be very busy these days assisting more people ease out of the financial crunch through bad credit repair programs.
I think all of us should be more proactive when it comes to managing our finances. We may have different priorities in life and different standards of living, but the bottom line is, we should live according to our means. It is very tempting to brush aside the future and enjoy what we have now but with our family in mind, the fear of another recession coming wakes us up to reality.
