Help for the new year

Since it is the beginning of the year, and many people have made their resolutions, probably on the top of most of those lists has something to do with finances and saving money, and getting out of debt.
The other day I did...ahem...watch...Oprah and she had Suze Orman on, and they were talking about finances and debt for 2009. Honestly watching it I had two different thoughts. The first was "Holy crap! The world is ending and our economy is never going to recover!" I mean she didn't beat around the bush or anything, it was look, the economy sucks, we're in trouble. And then the other thought I had was "I am so glad I don't have a house right now!" Now in all honesty we can't even qualify for a home loan right now anyway, and that is due to the economy. But, I'm glad that we don't have a huge mortgage payment right now and that we can focus on getting out of debt. But if anyone is interested, and I already mentioned this to my family, Suze Orman wrote a new book specifically for helping our financial crisis in 2009 and you can download it for free for a week from Oprah's website. I have already read part of it and I have found it helpful. So if you are interested, go to www.oprah.com/download and you can get the book there.
