The 7 Golden Tips of Survival

1. Quit going on credit.

One of the first lessons learned by people who survived the Great Depression was to never borrow money unless you have a clear plan for how you’re going to pay it back. And when layoffs are a reality, expecting to pay for it with your Christmas bonus or your next paycheck is not a sound plan.

If you don’t have the cash to make a purchase, then don’t buy it. If you have credit cards, make sure to pay the balance off every month. If you can’t pay off the balance, then cut up the credit card(s) and work on paying down what you owe.

2. Build good relationships with family and friends.

Be honest with your family and friends about your financial difficulties. They will see you through difficult times. Try to find out ways to help each other and discover new ways to barter. Families that stick together in difficult times develop stronger bonding by cherishing the simple pleasures of life.

Having fun doesn’t necessarily mean spending a lot. People still had fun during the Great Depression. Teenagers had dance competitions; people played monopoly, did puzzles, read books and listened to the radio. It did take some effort but they had fun without hanging out at the mall and so can you. Talk to you children about the financial crisis and get the adult kids to put in their share. This way the whole family will feel connected and the hard times won’t be so difficult to pass.
