Living With The Realities Of A Flat Economy

Here are my suggestions for coping in a flat economy: If you can, build an extended emergency fund that could cover expenses for up to a year. Do not leave a job before you are sure of a new one. Be realistic about how long everything now takes, from a job search to a home sale. Stop waiting for the old normal to come back. It may not. If a move or decision makes sense for your family, make it on that basis. Within the realities of today’s economic normal, keep on living your life.
