In the economic downturn we’re in, or anytime for that matter, we can never be too sure about our job security. Ideally, employers would always have loyal employees, and employees would have loyal employers. This is not often the case, and the impact on household or business can be devastating. Thus it is a prudent move to always have an escape plan. An alternative to the way you know and live your life.

There’s nothing else like it. You really ought to consider it no matter how detailed you are with finances. They can help you be better.

What can I say? There’s no better time in the world like anytime that you are secure in the power of God. I’m a devout Christian, you might say, and if you know what’s really going on in the world (because God has manifested His plan for the ages) then there’s not too much reason to fear in these difficult times.
