Thread Name: BS: If the Bottom DOES fall out
Subject: RE: BS: If the Bottom DOES fall out
Like Janie said.
Also, those of us who are financially comfortable come from families with vivid and frequently recounted memories of hard times and learned old-fashioned financial priorities from our parents: keep your day job, feed the family, make sure everyone has good shoes and a winter coat, keep the roof and the furnace intact, save for rainy days and old age. Take financial advice from the most cautious people you can find and, if you invest, make damned sure you can at least keep your shirt if all else fails. Keep your resume and your passport up to date and never be too proud to work because nothing is sure in this world.
There: that's financial advice folkie-style.
