Squirling it Away

It is a daunting task to get one's self through university. Not only are the costs onerous, but the volume of work and dedication are beyond many people's capacity. The net result of all the effort and costs is to establish one's self with a career, which in turn secures one's financial future. But just one minute! We are now living in times where that idea looks a little out of touch with reality, for a least some people.
There is a free education going on right now which will teach us all life lessons. The free economy market place is holding a crash course on corrections and recession and all we have to do is open our eyes and watch. The lessons to be learned are that you cannot secure your future on spending and credit, and the value of your assets will not always remain on the up-swing. Squirling away money for times like this turns out to have been the right strategy while all around, people were spending as if there was no tomorrow. And for some of them, there might not be, at least not in their own luxurious home.
Did I say this was a free education? Actually the tuition is very expensive as we are all finding out now.
