Times have demanded some families make sacrifices financially, and if you haven't yet it may soon be coming. Inflated taxes and devalued dollars are likely in our near future. Declining real estate and tanking 401k's are affecting everyone.Upon further review we are on the cusp of financial chaos. A chaos few are prepared for. In fact I dare say most are confused as to how to prepare for this. Is the answer in gold, real estate, the stock market, or perhaps something else? Even the most prudent financial planner has to be concerned. What if inflation crashes the dollar? Will gold hold it's value? Can we afford to keep real estate if taxes rise to cover inflation? Will hyper inflation crash our financial markets? These are all valid concerns, and I wish I had a crystal ball to answer them. Trust me these are things that worry me daily.
Here's what I hold on to: I'm secure because God and my family loves me. There will be no need for therapy for depression with that in mind. You can offer no greater security for your loved ones but to let them feel your love, and to reinforce their creator will see them through. Material goods are never a substitute for a family's love! It's not what you have, but who you have that counts.
No matter what the level of disaster we should feel confident in our ability when surrounded by love and support. Successful people adapt to change, and thrive on it. The prize is always just the other side of adversity, and with each other's inspiration we can overcome.
In the bible Paul's letter to the Romans: Chapter 5, Verse 3-4, He wrote.....
"We also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope."
God Bless
