According to results of surveys posted on CNNMoney.com, our current economy has changed our core values. What do you think? After the economy recovers, are you going to fall back into bad habits, or do you think you’ve been changed for good?“We’re not just cutting our bills, we’re rejecting materialism,” CNNMoney said. ”We’re placing safety and intrinsic rewards like relationships and personal growth ahead of profit. We’re embracing family and community and asking how we can help others, not just ourselves.”
If that attitude remains in the lives of Americans then we can expect a lot of good things.
In fact, according to the surveys, 94% of Americans said the recession will have a lasting impact on the way they handle their finances. I sure hope so.
“Nearly 10% said they were giving more time to charities,” CNNMoney reported. “More than half said they now feel plain guilty buying things they don’t need. Seven in 10 said they consider spending time with family more important than ever.”
It’s a shame that it took a recession to get us to this point, but at least it’s happened. When we’re finally out of this trouble, I hope you’ll continue to practice safer habits with your money. But more importantly, I hope you’ll remember what matters most in your life.
