The joys of starting a new business is not all that joyous some times, lately it seems most of the time. Sometimes I wonder if I should just hang it up and find employment elsewhere, because this self employment stuff doesn’t seem to be paying the bills, but I can’t complain many people I know are in a lot worse financial shape than myself. It seems like every other person I know as either lost a house to foreclosure or has become unemployed or underemployed or both. Considering I live in Michigan that shouldn’t surprise anyone. When most other states were enjoying financial prosperity, we were deep into a recession, now that the rest of the nation has slumped into a recession, I think it might be safe to say we are now in a severe recession, some might even say a depression. Personally I always pictured the difference between a recession and depression is that is a recession one might have to cut back on spending and look for ways to save and in a depression people are more concerned with survival, never mind the small stuff. This is probably from pictures I have seen from the Great Depression, life appeared, well pretty depressing.
