As the economy tanks and many friends around me are struggling to even eat I often wonder what is going to happen.  I know that the situation is only temporary and that is what I encourage others to think as well.  The joys and the heartaches of life come and go like the tides is my philosophy.  So when I’m in a bad phase I remind myself of two things.  One, that this wont last forever and two, good times are ahead.  That being said you should also do the same when you are in good times.

But what if times don’t get better or there is another downturn in the economy.  People are going to still be alive and try to provide for themselves.  But how are they going to do it?  My first thought is that when forced into a corner, people will start to do things they wouldn’t normally do.  At the onset maybe it’s alcohol, drugs or strip clubs but it progresses as times get worse and you aren’t just a customer any more.

If you had nothing would you steel?  Rob? Embezzle from the company?  How far do you think you are willing to go right now if you absolutely had to?
