Winging It In Fear Bubbles

Running to the safety of government treasuries? Do you know what "government treasuries" are? Most likely you, like most of us, don't know where any safe place is these days...it's OK, there is enough fear going on in the U.S. not to mention the rest of the world.

Here in the U.S. new misery buzzwords like "stay cation", or even "nay cation" are getting to be the norm...well here at EntirelyHomes.com we plan on keeping a stiff upper lip, and keep the flag of American home ownership waving as proudly as possible.

After reading an article: http://realtytimes.com/rtpages/20090312_invest.htm - I actually agree with a lot of this article's opinion. "Live where you want to live", well a whole lot of average home seekers would love to be able to apply that, but in an environment of little jobs, tough credit, plus the other myriad of bad news...the reality for most American home seekers should be, "Live as best as you can, where you can"...

Even in the best of times, the older I get, the more I realize how many of us are forced to "wing it". Now that times are tough to say the least, winging it has taken a new meaning for millions of Americans.

So here we all are, smack dab in a massive bubble of fear and tough news...is now a time to "wing it"? of course not! So what can be done to stop winging it in these rough times? Use your head...don't lose your head.

Lists, and following up and through on them is really a great start. Need a job? Need a new living space? Maybe it's just a matter of organizing what you already have...The art of organizing yourself, keeping yourself organized, and following through for yourself is the ultimate key to breaking the cycle of winging it in these tough times - or even when times are good!

Times are tough, trying to forget about troubles won't make them go away...winging it can work here and there, but not for very long. I think it pretty helpful for myself to write this blog, as it reminds myself of what it is I need to do...I can get side-tracked very easily, and without lists, and milestone/goal related organization, well this thickheaded real estate fan would be in even worse shape.

The revamping of EntirelyHomes.com is going WAY slower than I would like...but following the few scribbles on my list has helped a lot...

The best flight to safety is yourself, your family, and your friends...investments come and go, living spaces can always be made better just by putting your heart into it.

Don't be afraid...and stop winging it!
