Real Talk is the state of the Economy affecting you

[RuffDraft]

The cuts made by the Government put my job in a serious disposition; I have a contract, but the likeliness of that being renewed is fading by the day....

Otherwise, I'm doing good.. I'd be fine if my contract turned into a permanent position, but otherwise, yeah, it's hard times for some... but it depends... just need to be smart with your money and get yourself into a good position that makes yourself employable...

Worked for a contractor for GA Power for 3 years then outta nowhere they decided they no longer needed our help and whole dept got laid off. Smh

Luckily I seen it comin and went to broadcasting school while still employed and end up getting an entry level part time position with a sports radio station. Was working both for a whole a 3 weeks then the lay off came.

I'm gettin partial unemployment at the moment but shit will end soon and life will get tougher. Can't wait!

Of course, it affects me to an extent, but it hasn't really changed my plans or the way I do things.

I always knew how to think around the system, (and I'm not talking crime) I'm talking about how I spend my money. I saw this coming in the 90's, it dosent surprise me. I always been the type to save. I feel like my faith got me this far, whatever it is to come my faith will get me thru it.

It affected me today when I filled up my tank.

And job hunting is a bitch now.
