“Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time; it is regret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable.” Sydney J. Harris
I was encouraged Thursday night (pics next post) by folks who still planned to get out and travel this year.
The financial news is not encouraging. I don’t need to recap it all here, but when they are talking about General Motors filing for bankruptcy, the world is a crazy place.
But why should you still hit the road this year?
There will NEVER be a great time.
This pretty much applies to anything in life. I need to save more money, I’m waiting for my friends to come along, It’s too cold, It’s too hot, I’m waiting for prices to come down…
All worthless excuses.
I talked before about airlines, hotels and cruises slashing prices like mad. And it does not stop.
Let me give you a simple rule: If someone you love is not going to eat if you take a trip…DO NOT DO IT!
But if your finances are solid, go go go for it!
I will not deny the world economy is in recession…some would say depression. But remember news media get ratings when they hype a situation. They are trying to stay in business too!
Look at YOUR personal situation and make a decision based on that…not if GM might file Chapter 11.
