Living In Fear

There is not a day that goes by, that most Americans are not living in fear. This fear comes in many forms and can be devastating for all of us. With the declining economy, joblessness, the rising cost of gas, food and other necessities, American families are living in fear.

Fear is choking the life out of this country and it's citizens. So many of us wake up each morning, wondering if this will be the day that everything catches up to us. Will this be the day that we lose our job, will this be the day that we surrender to mounting debt?

There is not a day that goes by, that I don't wonder if my family and I would survive if we had to live through another Depression. I know that my grandparents did it and I know what hard work means, but could we really do what had to be done to keep a roof over our heads and food on the table?

There was a time in this country that neighbors helped each other and took care of each other, but that time is long gone. Some of us don't even know who our neighbors are and some want no part of their neighbors. With this type of mentality, how would people survive a Depression?

For some it is already too late. But for the rest of us, we need to wake up and start thinking how we would make it through really bad times. We all need to start taking responsibility for our debts, our friends and our neighbors. We need to starting coming together as a country before it is too late.
