The Sewing Mom

The elections are over and the country now seems to be looking forward to “change”.   No matter which way you voted, I think everyone believes our country needs to see some sort of changes made. Our economy has been spiraling downward and the housing market is on the decline around most of the country. Personally, we’ve seen our retirement savings evaporate and the value of our home go down. We are definitely anxious about what the future holds.

With the stock market the way it is right now, it’s a scary time to invest any money and yet, the economy really needs money to be pumped into it in order for it to start its recovery. Rebuilding of America might be just what we need to help get us all back on track. With just $25, which is less than the cost of a dinner out, everyday people just like us can make a safe, FDIC insured investment that will help rebuild our communities.

Each and every $25 investment will be put together and the funds will then be used to get construction loans back enabling the construction, jobs and completion of very worthwhile projects that lost funding. Besides rebuilding, this investment has a goal to provide maximum return on investment. The investment in FDIC insured certificate of deposits, what could be safer than that?  If you’re interested, and have a desire to be socially responsible, be sure to check it out.

As you all know, I recently began a 7 week employee training course that would lead to a great work at home position as a reservation specialist for a major international hotel chain.  Today was the beginning of my fourth week, half way through, and I was both excited and nervous.  Then, the other shoe dropped.

At 1:00 today, the call center director came into our training classroom and informed us that, due to the current U.S. economy which is resulting in people not traveling, all training classes were being cancelled and as of today, we were no longer employed.  Yep, it sucks.

I’d write more, but that pretty much reflects how I’m feeling right now.  I guess it really was too good to be true.
