frumblogger (#9), thank you for posting your message of chizuk! You are so correct in your attitude and your approach. I am sure it was not easy to go from an executive-level position to back-breaking labor. But when it comes to matters of emunah, bitachon, shalom bayis, and family responsibilities, there can be no gaivah! You have to do what you have to, and thank Hashem there is still some opportunities to make parnassah. My husband was out of work for a long time, and he did whatever he could -drove for car service, did deliveries for people, anything to alleviate the burden from me and help the family. B’H, he later found a job according to his skills and talents, and we just daven and hope in this financial climate he can keep it. But yes, hakol beyadei Shamyaim. Hatzlocha to everyone!

There are also resourses for job placement for the frum community i.e. the OU and I believe Agudah.

13, that economic theory of the importance of spending is pretty, but how to do it when you don’t have money?
I say, keep using the caterers, etc. but go simpler – simpler food, simpler centerpieces, etc. The businesses will adjust. Restaurants, kosher or not, all over are revising their menus to attract customers who simply can’t spend as much.
I’d like a picture of economic theory meeting reality.

Mr. Harry
How wrong you are.

You wrote:

BBy by yidden and cut out on fancy simchas.

The second suggestion contradicta the first. If you cut out on fancy simchas you do not buy by yidden.

The last thing one wants to do in a recession is cut spending.

Think of all those people who will lose their jobs if you cut out on simchas.

Those who work for caterers, those who work for bands, those who supply flowers, those who take photographs, on and on

The business themselves will fail.
