If you have been focused on the economic bailout efforts and the fluctuating stock markets this news may be shocking, but it is a precursor of things to come if unemployment continues to grow.

A substantial percentage of America doesn’t have the proper amount of food to eat. In fact, there are some that have very little food for their children. They eat low quality food or even skip meals because of the lack of money. This is truly a shame in a country with the pride of America.

The situation is getting worse by the minute. We are on the verge of a financial disaster unlike anything any of us have ever experienced in our lifetime.

Every time I make that statement someone always tells me I shouldn’t. Friends we simply cannot stick out heads into the sand and deny that this is happening. For more than two years I have been predicting a collapse of the DOW from almost 14,000 down to 8000 or less only to be told by many that it wouldn’t and couldn’t happen.

Did you look at that number this morning? Hummm…

Now is the time when we must take control of our own lives and living situation. We must also reach out to those less fortunate. This is not a time when the normal rules we have come to accept and expect apply.

The poor and unemployed cannot always help themselves and they must rely on others to survive the coming times more than ever. This may also include those families that just a few months ago were self-sufficient and financially balanced.

Loss of income can devastate a family in a matter of months especially if they are caught up in the wave of high cost mortgage payments. These families cannot rely on the government to bail them out before they go bankrupt. I have suggested a process of mortgage deferral that would relieve a lot of the pressure and financial instability for these families until the economy and their job situation can stabilize some.

What can you do? Educate yourself and find a way to make your voice heard. Take every measure to protect yourself and your family. Reach out to those less fortunate and support the efforts of community services that help those in need.

These may be unusual things for you to consider, but these are unusual times and the issues will take your every resource directed into a focused process of financial and social survival. The future may be rosy again, but the coming months will be the most shocking and frustrating of our lives.

It is not the time for despair; it is a time to be strong. Be strong and then lend a helping hand.
