Looking Towards Our New Future

How long will it take for the economy to go back up again? This is one of the questions that i think about everday. I was talking to my dad the other day and we were talking about the economy. (Something that we really dont talk about often.) And i asked him how it was doing because i dont really listen to the news or anything. And he said that it was not doing well. He said that in the past, people said that if like the stocks went down like 20% it would be a bad thing and bad for people all around. But my dad said that the stocks have gone down about 40 to 50% and i was shocked. That was a big number and i didnt know what to think. Obama is not the president of the United States and he is going to hopefully birng us out of this bad economy, but who knows how long it will take?

Everyone here living in the North Shore is fortunate to have enough money to stay where they are and not have to move. But what about some of the other people in the world who are not as fortunate as we are? Are these people becoming homeless? This is something that we all have to think about. Even though some of us might be worrying about the economy, there are some poeple that might be forced to move out of their house.

Hopefully the economy will be better soon, but who knows when that will be? I know that everyone is worried right now and doesnt know when it will be better, but is there anything anyone else can do about it in the meantime?
