Knowing how to manage personal finances is the cornerstone of being able to successfully build wealth. Accordingly, how to manage personal finances has never been as crucial a subject as it is right now! It has been four years since the start of the "Great Recession" and the ensuing jobless recovery. The housing market remains depressed while home foreclosures and short sales continue at a distressing rate.
How Are You Doing?
If you were a true member of the "wealthy class" in America at the time of economic tsunami and not overly burdened with debt or other forms of exposure to financial loss, you are probably still relatively comfortable and perhaps even profiting from the current economic situation.
If you and yours resided within any level of the "Great American Middle Class", the odds are better than even that you're experiencing some degree of financial hardship. The economy has taken a long-term change for the worse, presenting you with the challenge to survive and overcome.
The weak financial foundations of an alarming number of Americans were exposed by the meltdown of "08-09". Too many individuals/households, some with excellent incomes, were living on the bubble while not employing sound principles on how to manage personal finances.
Those who were experiencing the most financial distress may have also suffered through bankruptcy and/or home foreclosure. Now, as we wrestle with the post collapse "New Economy", what will it take for working class / middle class Americans to regain viable financial status and direction? What should we be doing now?
