Ahhh! The Money Crisis

This post is from guest blogger Brenda Schmerl:

Every day, it seems the financial news just gets more alarming — first, it was skyrocketing gas prices; then, the stockmarket took a dive; and finally, warnings from some leaders that an economic meltdown looms if we don’t bail out the big financial companies — to the tune of $700 billion! It’s hard not to get apprehensive whenever you turn on the news — so if you’re feeling extra nervous about money, we’ve got the tips you need to help calm you down.

I also want to know how all this financial turmoil is affecting you. Are you changing the way you spend and save? Are you trying to sell or refinance your house? Maybe you're looking to get a new job — or are worried about the one you've got? Add your comments here!
