Economic Crisis Survival
Dear Readers,
This is the first in a series of articles that will offer new innovative ways to get a hold on spending. Today's article is an overall introduction. Each succeeding week's article will focus on different chapters of A Life Preserver in a Sea of Debt: How to acquire a new mindset to transition from overspending to permanent financial stability and have fun doing it, by Judy Guralchuk.
It is not just a book, but a new way of living that can change people's lives. It offers a detailed concrete program for overcoming attitudinal and other obstacles that threaten healthy money management. It goes on to offer ways to reach goals by becoming aware of buying choices. It is the precise corrective needed to get our finances back on track.
Experts say our economy will never be the same, that we need a drastic change, but they do not tell us how to change. A Life Preserver in a Sea of Debt is that change.
How can we survive the economic crisis and emerge stronger that ever? Discover why we are in our current economic situation. Become aware of why we are so anxious to spend our hard earned money. Learn what questions to ask before spending any money. Then, as we start to transition our spending mindsets, we discover that instead of feeling deprived, we see tangible benefits: debt and overspending are eliminated, savings grow, and economic stress disappears. And... we had fun doing it!
As business owners become aware of new spending options, they can incorporate them into their strategies to improve profits. They can also offer their new knowledge to employees. Workers without financial stress give better performance records, as stated in a Hartford survey, 2008.
