Don’t be fooled by positive statistics and sayings such as, “there’s nowhere to go but up” just because the market has been so bad. It’s true that once the bottom is hit there’s nowhere else to go but up, but we need to remember how we got there to ensure we don’t land there again. It’s up to us to keep in mind that at the core of many of the market’s tragedies was us as individuals not managing our money responsibly and not living within our true means and, as a result, we must ensure that the same mistakes are not repeated.
Therefore, no matter how good statistics look, we have to get back to the basics of having more coming in than going out, making realistic plans and not being intrigued by creative loan programs, positive projections and the deception of our emotions. We all would agree that any “positivity” right now is welcomed and should be celebrated, but turning our eye away from the real things we need to do at home could be catastrophic. We cannot allow the mere glimpse of hope and positive projections to lure us into making the same mistakes that got us in such a low state in the first place.
