Re-activateHow are you faring these days? Have you been roiled by recent economic events? Are you changing the way you live, spend, save, or invest? We'd like to hear your story.
Your outlook on the current financial upheaval likely depends on your personal circumstances. If you have a stable job and a fixed-rate mortgage, then you're probably sleeping better at night than folks who are close to retirement or facing steep college tuition bills. Maybe you can squeeze a few more years out of your car and put off other major expenses as well. But maybe you can't.
Consumer Reports was born during hard times. Since the Great Depression, we've been helping readers make wise choices about their money, and we'd like to continue that tradition through this downturn as well. Our Money & Shopping blog offers advice on everything from personal investing to credit and loans to how to negotiate the changing real estate market. And we've just introduced a new column by our resident penny-pincher Tightwad Tod to help you get the most for your money.
But we'd like to hear from you about the things you are doing in your daily life to make it through that stack of bills and shore up your future finances. Please share your story in the comment section below.
