Opening Advice

While there are many factors contributing to the current worldwide financial crisis, the prime causes can be put down to two things:

1. Greed
   
- the greed of Bankers, Finacial Institutions,Governments and individuals

2. Panic!
- at the first signs of economic slowdown, many of the financiers panicked and "jumped ship", creating a much faster downturn than would have otherwise been the case.

Over the next few weeks and months, I intend to show you some simple and effective strategies to improve your own financial situation and overcome the recession.

The first lesson for today and probably the most important piece of advice that I can give you is, no matter what problems you are currently facing,:

DON'T PANIC!

Panic blocks the logical thought processes and prevents you from making sensible decisions. Panic leads to fear, which paralyzes you and makes your present situation seem a hundred times worse than it is. Solutions can be found but you need to keep a cool head.
So keep reading this blog and I will try to cover as many angles as possible.
