I am worried. This is not an unusual state for me, as friends and colleagues will agree. Often, my worries can be assuaged by thoughtful preparation or action. The worries of these days have left me in a state of paralysis.
Every day I speak to dozens of people, professionally or socially or just out in the business of daily life. Everyone has a story for me to hear and none of it is good.
Many people I know have been fortunate enough. They are not underwater financially. They are not losing their homes. Their college graduated children may be living at home, but with adjustments in these times, this seems a small price that families are happy to pay.
