Now I freak

So I heard all this talk of the econmy doing poorly and I didn't freak much. I was very carefree or "meh" about it all. When I left Best Buy I said I'll go somewhere else, and I did. I pretty much broke even going for my Insurance License and ordering business cards etc. Still keeping my $8/hr at the liquor store I still had money. I still saved for a rainy day. I've been investing since I was 12 after my great aunt Alice left me some money. Today however I saw that I need some money so I called Travis, my financial advisor over at Ameriprise. His response was "i got laid off mike sorry, here is Dan's number..talk to his assistant Maggie' What the fuck..That isn't a good sign of the economy. At least for me. I'm going to try a $50 a week budget and see where that lands me..I'm freakin out man
