A Helping Hand
The financial crisis is touching everyone's lives, we are all entering tough times. As much as the crisis seems large and overwhelming I think we all have stories of how it has affected our own lives and those of family members, coworkers, and friends. As important as it is for us to weather the storm ourselves, a number of articles have been coming out recently that emphasize the importance of looking out for one another.
The New York Times has published an article entitled "Helping Out With Cash: A Delicate Art" meant as a guide to respectfully offering financial support to friends and family. Those fortunate enough to be in a position to give, are often stopped by uncertainty in what is appropriate and how to offer. Tips and personal stories about whether to give a loan or a grant, give anonymously, or give without asking first, are all included. Numerous comments on the post also provide further insight from both those that have given and received financial support.
But helping a friend is not limited to cash, Reuters reported that the US government is creating a website to help people deal with the emotional and psychological stress that comes with financial worry. The site, entitled "Getting Through Tough Economic Times" provides links and suggestions on dealing with these issues and getting help for you or someone you care about.
Financial crisis strucks all over the earth!
If you don't know, this aspect is a problem for all of us, and i really think that we should find smart ways to defeat this crisis. Not by commiting suicide, by selling our kidneys or outrageous things like these.
Let's think about not going out so often traveling abroad just fo fun, not buying food from restaurants and not buying so many things we really don't need.
Come on people ! We can do it ! No more crying, because if you want to, you can step out of this situation,all you have to do is to remain calm and think that perseveration will be rewarded inn the end :)
