Recession Survival Guide

By Ben Stevens

Psychotherapist and parenting expert Jill Spivack has created a recession survival guide to help women develop coping strategies that include how to reduce costs, minimize stress and maintain healthy relationships. Her recommendations include the following tips:

• Increase physical activity to help relieve stress
• Maintain a positive attitude and remember you are not alone
• Communicate your feelings to your spouse
• Figure out solutions and work as a team
• Explain the situation to your children
• Spell out what you will (and won't) spend money on

There are many other good suggestions (and much more detail) in the article below, and I encourage my readers to click this link to learn more.
