Attaining Financial Independence During Economic Tribulation

Economic affliction is increasing individuals and families distress. Individuals and families are affected by layoffs, decreases in work hours and pay. The uncertainty during such times is affecting individuals and families negatively. The pressure to pay one's bills and maintain one's responsibilities are causing emotional turmoil and conflict within families. Financial problems are one of the top three reasons couples argue. One's standard of living may be compromised and adapting to such a change is critical. Such a time requires that responsibilities are re-prioritized, that money is better managed and creative thinking and problem-solving is implemented. This economic situation can be reframed into an opportunity where one can be challenged to make important life changes. Humans are known to become complacent and comfortable in situations that may not be the most growth provoking. However, this economic climate can offer individuals the opportunity to rediscover one's passion in terms of an occupation. According to the Department of Labor, the average American changes their career 3 - 5 times within their lifetime. A hurting economy can serve as a catalyst to reconsider one's career and options that are available. A new career may assist one in attaining a greater sense of security during this economic crisis. Career guidance is a process that identifies career interests and expands career options with the intent of identifying a fulfilling career that will help attain and sustain one's financial independence.
