I congratulate you on your attitude about the retirement investments. Right now you ARE investing in you (and your family), and that is probably a better long term investment than any other.

Somehow I think it is easier because there are so many of us in the same boat, and as long as that boat isn't called the Titanic, I think we'll be OK. So much belt tightening is going on now, and I think in the long run we'll be stronger for it. At least I hope so!

I am so fickin' proud of you. I don't know you from Adam (or Eve even) but your coping skills are more than good. They are AWESOME. You created a 'rainy day fund' (the precursor to the retirement fund) for the rainy times and it *is* raining all over. <BR/><BR/>You did good. You are doing good. You're gonna be fine. <BR/><BR/>~A sidelined cheering squad

Tama, we miss you over on the Fool! I didn't realize things had gotten so rough. Last I heard, you had gotten the book deal.<BR/><BR/>But, hon! Get some Google Adsense on this blog! You have a ton of readers. Get some links to some books you love through Amazon's partner program.<BR/><BR/>Ok, they won't bring in a lot, but, well, maybe they will.<BR/><BR/>((((((((Tamarian)))))))<BR/><BR/>(this is

I'm right there with you, girl. Tnis is the most bleak time I can ever remember but I keep on keepin' on, convinced that somehow, some time things will work out. I may be a person with zero retirement dollars by then but I'll still be breathing so there's always that.

Believe me, I know how much life sucketh right now. I do not have your employment woes, but we have enough rain and thunderclouds hovering over our house to make me feel more than little empathetic. Hang in there, we just have to trust that it will get better.

My condolences on the job situation, but you definitely have the right attitude about it, and that's admirable as well as amazing given the circumstances and the usual reaction. It takes a certain shift in perspective and consciousness to see the potential blessing that this could be. WILL be, if you keep this up. ;-)<BR/><BR/>I'm certain that you'll be pleasantly surprised at what turns up next.
