Hard Economic Times: Can Blacks Survive without $$
Indeed, we are living in very hard economic times. Since I have been living and aware of maintaining economically, I have not seen it this bad. It is even worse than the days of Reagonomics.
We are struggling, starving and stealing like never before. We cannot hustle, if that is what we choose to do, because even drugs are scarce out here in the streets.
On the minds of many of us, is "What are going to do?!"
"How will I survive??"
"What about next week, how will I make it until then??"
Can we survive without less and less money? Even Barack Obama said that times may get rougher before they get better for America.
I have learned that couples are fighting one another because of there is less money in their pockets. This is drastic when loving couples fight and argue about finances. It is telling of the way we look at money, and how we feel we need it so bad to survive.
Consider me crazy, but I do not believe we will die if we don't have money. The world is not going to end. Am I crazy for saying this?
We adapt to hard times. We become more resourceful and creative when money and the like are scarce. We will not become extinct when money is low. I wonder how many of us here agree with me...
How are you surviving? Are you scared? Are you angry? Are you fighting with your mate because money is low in the household?

Indeed Irma and Katherine, you both hit it on the head: the things we need most are free. We should keep our minds and eyes on this. We will be better off in the long run.
