[quote=Anonymous]While many others seem to have gotten back to normal last year buying cars, boats, vacations, and other things like that, I am still hesitant. 2008 was a big wake up call for me and even though I was over extended, I was fortunate enough to have a high enough income to weather it. But one illness or job loss and I would've been in bad shape. And that feeling sticks with me to this day, even with the low interest rates for loans. There are many big purchases I'd either like to make or things I need to get done on the house, but I just cannot bring myself to spend that kind of money. I've become addicted to watching my savings grow and debt decrease and still don't feel like I have enough to feel fully safe. Especially with the uncertainty going forward with work tied to the federal government. I know no longer can feel assured that I can easily get another job should something happen to mine like I used to. [/quote]
