Phil's Personal Finance Tip of the Day:
Boomers, Give Thanks This Holiday
It’s easy for us to forget among the mashed potatoes, parade and football on Thursday to remember what the holiday is all about: giving thanks.
The 2012 news cycle has been jammed pack with political, economic, global and weather-related events that have impacted our bottom line. The job market is showing signs of recovery, but it still remains weak while Wall Street continues to fluctuate as it searches for solid direction.
We survived a long campaign season, a Supreme Court battle over health-care reform and are now waiting to see if lawmakers can work together to come to an agreement about our nation’s massive budget deficit. I know us boomers are keeping a watchful eye on the future of our Social Security and Medicare benefits as we try to plan for our future.
Mother Nature has also been active this year with devastating wild fires, earthquakes, tornadoes and hurricanes.
Despite all this, we are a resilient nation, and we need to remember to give thanks this season. My family has a tradition of going around the table before Thanksgiving dinner and expressing what we are thankful for.
We share some laughs, shed some tears but from the oldest to the youngest--we all speak what is in our hearts.
