Blooming in Adversity

The sagging real estate market definitely shows that the housing bubble in the US is crashing down and that hard times are on the way. A decline in the real estate sales eventually will lead to a decline in real estate prices, which in turn reduces the value of everyone’s home. Because the pressing times are looming, budgets have been cut, costs have been measured and families with impending house sales opt for short sales. Those who plan to buy houses too find themselves browsing for low income housing. Because of the economic downturn, many have lost their jobs and have been unable to pay for their home mortgages. Others may have decided to sell their homes and prefer to live in small ones just to keep up with the times.

But still, despite the recession and everything, it has brought the good side to the American people. It has taught them the value of their jobs, their hard earned money and have made them resilient and brave. The people have learned to find ways to augment family expenses. Individuals have also learned to stretch their budget and started saving. Finally, it is only during adversity that people will bloom and flourish.
