Hard Times

We all find ourselves in the midst of some fairly hard economic times in the USA. For many of us, it is a time to "tighten the belt", so to speak. If you are renting, it may be harder to buy a home. If you own, it may be harder to make the payment each month.

The other day, I ran across a slogan that I am told was popular during WWII. During that period of our history, the population was required to do with less and sacrifice for the good of the country and to help the military have what it needed. The saying, "Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without!"

Maybe each of us can find something in those phrases that help ease the situation.
