Remeber your roots.

[carol b]

Economics is all about jobs and spending. If you don't have a job you still have to spend right. Take it back to your roots and remember where you came from and how you handled things then.

When I was a kid we didn't have alot of money or stuff but we lived well enough. We never starved as my momma was smart. She purchased the things she had to but she prepared for lean times too.

Summer means gardens and you can can or freeze most of the extra. Buy stuff to make homemade for when you can't afford to go to the grocery store. There is nothing better than homemade bread with mommas homemade blackberry jam.

Make memories for your familly that will be there forever. Even when things are hard you can live well and don't have to share the pain of having little or no money with them.

I like to walk and I pick berries sometimes or apples whenever I am lucky enough to find a nice tree. Mother nature will provide you just have to be positive and thrifty and you will make it no matter how lean times really are.
