Depression

Hi...again haha
wow 3 blogs in one day
I must be REALLY bored

but yeah
this time I have a point to this blog

You know how things always come back after a generation or 2 rite?
Well, the depression is one of them.
The Great Depression of the 1930s was a huge downfall for America.
The economy went down.
Many people lost their jobs.
Many people lost their lives.
It took us decades for us to recover.

In my last blog, I talked about having a flood of orders coming in
well...im back and its 8:00...
and the most orders I had today was 10 at a time..sadly
that is like 6% of our profit last year
The economy is falling quickly
and in about 5 years, we are going into a depression :(

My mom was telling me about this and how it will hit us really badly if I dont start saving $$

You probably are hearing this on the news and thinking "this is not going to affect me. it is not going to be that bad."
Thats what I thought...
Well...here is a real life example that is happening to my family right now
Along with this huge lose of income, we had to lay off half of the employees.
So I have to go work at the restaurant every weekend from now on.
We lost a lot of our customers due to their lack of wage.
We cannot freely spend money on leisurely things anymore.
We're not traveling to visit our family in Asia this summer for it is too expensive.

So next time your out shopping, think.
Do you want to spend it on that really cute bag even though you have 10 at home?
Or do you want to save it just in case you lose your house?
