On Friday, it finally happened. I was directly affected by the loosening economy. It skewed my well crafted vision for next year and I’m pretty sure a few more grey hairs popped out. I was stressed. For a day.
I’m young and finishing University. I don’t have a debt (other than that life-long, trip-a-year debt to my parents to pay them back). My money (what money?) isn’t tied up in the volatile market. I don’t have dependents that are tying me to a certain location or time.
Essentially the only influences on me are the positive ones I love and choose to be there.
So with resume in hand and opportunity in mind I wrap up my final term at Dal and get ready for next year. To all other students out there in the same situation: Don’t listen to the media. Don’t sweat the economy, it’s an opportunity for you.
Not a bad spot to be when you look at it in context. Things always happen for a reason. You will work through this and you will have a great life.
Now’s a good time to be putting money INTO the market. A lot of the buying opportunities have dried up but man there were some bargains to be had earlier in the crash.
