Five for Friday!

Five for Friday! – February 20, 2009

Well, we have made it to the end of another rocky stock market week. The Dow Jones was down over 300 points at the end of yesterday’s trading and over 1300 points since the beginning of the year. Where is it going? No one knows for sure, but one thing we do know – it is going to be interesting watching how the $787,000,000,000 stimulus package plays out.

Until that time (which may be several months to a year) there is plenty that you can do to help your own financial situation. Make sure you are living within your means, saving as much as possible and paying off your debt. Sounds simple doesn’t it. Don’t worry, I know how difficult it is, but I also know that you can do it. Hopefully this weeks roundup will help you get started.
