I’m not going to admit to anything.  I don’t understand politics very well, I don’t know the inner workings of government.  I STILL don’t really understand what the difference is between right and left wing.

However…. I do notice the way the media tends to lean towards instilling a certain amount of uncertainty, even fear, upon the general public.  I have absolutely no proof, but a good gut feeling (for what it’s worth) that things are…. ok.

Sure, there were a few mistakes when it came to US mortgages, but lets put that behind us.  Continue with a level of caution, sure… but no more than you normally do.  Don’t go out and splurge, no one ever really should.  If you NEED a new car though, go out and buy it.  If you WANT a new 50″ TV….. wait until you can afford it.

After what has been a long evening of severe inebriation, I would be the WORST financial advisor, but I truly believe things will be ok as long as everyone keeps a level head and thinks about things before they dive in head first.
