Balanced Perspective



A wise woman from my church sent this to me in an email today and I thought it was perfect timing!

It's about keeping a balanced perspective: "Memorize a few statistics and then emblazon them on your frontal lobe to arm yourself against the onslaught of gloom: 1) During the Great Depression the jobless rate jumped to 25 percent. We have yet to reach 10 percent in this current go round. 2) Bank failures wiped out the life savings of millions of people—not hedge funds or risky investment. To date, not one person has ever lost a nickel in an FDIC-insured bank account, and 3) Some 44 percent of all mortgages were delinquent by 1934, compared with about 5 percent today." - from Mary Hunt's Debt-Proof Living
