Has anyone lost their job recently? Boy! Talk about everybody. The economy sucks big time! That is why I created this article to help you guys out there who still struggling. With gas prices going up you need to think about your next job. Actually, everything is increasing ranging from food to electricity and heat needed to warm up your house. Soon electricity rates will also double and everyone will start panicking. The idea here is to stop panicking. I am here to help. I want you to think about your job. Yes! Right now do some thinking about your job. Will it stay in the next 2 – 3 years in this recession? Will you survive?

It’s time to think smart and wise, start something or another job on the side. Start researching for other jobs locally in your area. The future in my perspective is going to be a lot similar to Europe right now. What is happening in Europe is gases prices are inflated to about 9 dollars a gallon leaving you desperate for transportation. The only way you could get around cheap in Europe is through bikes, buses, or street car. Only the rich and developed folks drive cars in Europe. Also, in Europe prices on food are inflated. Consider yourself lucking if you live in America and pay around 3 dollars a gallon for gas. There is yet another trend in Europe. Europeans do not live in oversized mansions like the Americans. For all we care we can live in a small room that is about 500 to 700 square feet. All we need is a bathroom, a small kitchenette and a place to sleep. That is the typical living space for an average European. What the Americans need to understand is downsizing. Now I don’t mean as in losing your job, what I mean is downsizing from their huge mansions to small little condominiums or cottages. People need to understand their “needs” and “wants”. Often times these get mixed up and out of control.

Think about the Germans. What are the Germans doing right now? Did you know that the Germans attempted to take over the world twice? It’s true! Start thinking locally and productively.  I want you guys who are struggling out there to get a piece of paper. Write down your needs one the left side and wants on the right side. Wife goes first. When she writes hers down put that piece of paper aside and now it’s the husbands turn to go. As soon as the husband finishes you both can put those pieces of paper together and compare and contrast what is the most important need and want in your relationship. Start making smart decisions in life and look at European trends to see what the other side is doing to fix their problems.
