Years ago I decided to put a contingent plan in place. I have a former career that I left, and while I don't want to go back to it full-time, I am willing if I need to. Once I put the plan in place, reviewed my potential income against what expenses we would have (after making some hypothetical cut-backs) I have felt secure ever sense. The worst feeling for me is when I feel backed into a corner and have no options. Always got to keep those options open and look beyond what feels like limiting circumstances. Thanks for posing the questions. I think it's time I dust that contingency plan off and see if it needs some revising. It is an unsettling time. Years ago I decided to put a contingent plan in place.

We both work and don't have kids. But I handle ALL of the bills and finances. It would be nice not to have to stress about it, but money is the one thing that stresses him out the most. So I handle all the bills to spare him. In this time of turmoil, neither of us are really trying to comfort each other because we try not to think about it. If anything we have enough fat stores on our bodies to keep us warm this winter. <abbr><em>Aprils last blog post..<a href="http://aprildurham.blogspot.com/2008/09/what-do-you-think-logo-design.html" rel="nofollow">What Do You Think: Logo Design</a></em></abbr> My husband and I have a different relationship right now then I suppose.

Last night, though, I heard a financial "expert" talking about how long it will take to recoup yesterday's losses, and I didn't buy her analysis, but I would like better analysis to that question, though it's impossible to answer with certainty. <abbr><em>Working Dads last blog post..<a href="http://blog.seattlepi.nwsource.com/family/archives/149947.asp?source=rss" rel="nofollow">The kids are all right and not over-scheduled</a></em></abbr> Both my wife and I work, and when we talk about this financial turmoil, I always try to point out the history of the market, which is easy since we have decades until retirement.
