im 17yrs old, and am very fearful for my future. I know i was always spoiled as a child, We always had our nice home, food to eat, vacations, and more than we needed. My parents were very well off, and last year it just hit. One minute, really successful, the next, both parents lost their businesses, and were in search for new jobs. Don't get me wrong, I don't act spoiled, i never expect anything or ask for anything and im kind to others, & extremely family oriented, I help my parents and sibs in anyway i can.

I mean im totally fine with cutting back, but Basically when I see my parents getting more and more worried everday, my family in jepoardy of losing our home, people losing jobs and money left and right, and a very scary-looking future starting college soon, how am i supposed to be happy? I feel as if each day I am becoming sadder and sadder! and i am considered very optomistic.

ahhh, i don't want to be sad anymore, it's not the way to live!
 
I have exactly the same problem... I'm 15 and my dad doesnt have a job

But i faced this a while ago and made a promise to myself not to worry about it and to take life day by day.

One thing that helps me is to take something you see everyday and attribute your promise to it. For example i have this bandanna in my sock drawer and every time i see it, it reminds me that i should try to be happy and enjoy life! I know it sounds dumb but it really helps!

Cheers

Are you lost or suffering from depression and feel like you're dieing than Wake UP already.
 
The buying opportunity... I hate to sound like a jerk, but for those of us who were responsible during the boom have a chance to buy assets at bargain prices. The stock market is having a 40% off sale, and houses haven't been this cheap in years.
