Description: How do you protect yourself and your family in today's economy? Do you have a plan for covering your daily expenses? Are you living paycheck to paycheck? If you're unemployed, do you know how long it might take you to find a new job? Are you unable to find a job comparable to your previous job in status and/or earnings? If you need to be considering other jobs, do you know what jobs will be growing in the next eight years, what their education and training requirements are, and what they pay? Tough economic times call for being knowledgeable about the job market, examining your money habits, and taking action to maintain or restore financial health.
