Today I am going to higlight some personal finance findings from around the web. With the economy going the way it is and now 1 out of three families saying they can’t pay the bills, it hardly a friendly scenario. So how do you survive and economy in recession like ours?
Firday’s Personal Finance Findings:
- Mint.com users feeling the hurt, pinching pennies-Personal finance site Mint.com has gathered data showing that its users spent an average of $300 less per month in August than in January this year — a 6 percent drop suggesting that the site’s 500,000 users are adjusting to the economic downturn (at least a little better than Wall Street).
- DOW Falls Below 9000- On Thursday the DOW hit it’s lowest point ever, exactly one year from the date it hit it’s all time high.
- The Credit Crunch May Cause Another Great Depression-The crisis is shaping up to be a perfect storm. Are we headed for the next Great Depression?
- Consumer bankruptcy filings up 29 pct in September-The number of consumer bankruptcy filings rose about 29 percent in September from a year ago, the American Bankruptcy Institute said Friday.
I know they are not very positive, but that wis the world of Finance for this Friday.

I’m still waiting for them to throw all those billions at the problem.
These times definately require a level head and a good bit of belt tightening. I’m glad that my kids are grown, I don’t know how all the young couples, like you, are making it with kids to support.
