January proved that whatever happened in December is just a little blurp over a long period of decline that history will
confirm.

What can we as an average Joe/Jane do to survive this multi-year long recession? Hold cash as close to your chest as possible? Find a second job or do something else that can generate a second income? Keep contributing to your retirement plan as usual and hope that one day everything will work out some how?
