A Difficult Economy: What should we do?

Asa presented an overview of the economy with some interesting statistics. He predicts that there is still a bumpy ride ahead.

He suggests:

1.  Have a cash reserve.

2.  Be profitable with positive cash flow.

3.  Spend your money close to home.

4.  Take advantage of the opportunities of a poor economy.

5.  Speak up, do not be quiet with your representatives.
