Last night as we watched TV and the third commercial in a row said, "In these hard times," or "In this economy," my husband looked at me and said, "I'm so tired of hearing about the economy."
I have to agree. I'm tired of thinking about it and worrying about it. I'm tired of people trying to sell me something to give me the illusion of security. I'm tired of people trying to wring my last pennies out of me, or trying to tell me where I should spend them. I'm tired of seeing how it has affected many people that I know and love.
But at least I understand what's going on. It makes sense to me, and I can see the broad scope of influence the tough economy has had. And that isn't necessarily true of kids.
