Grateful For The Recession?
I’ve heard a lot of words used to describe this recession, and I don’t think grateful is one of them. It’s certainly not the most common adjective most people think of when discussing a recession, but that’s exactly how I feel. Grateful. Before you think I’m some kind of nut-job that loves pain & misery, let me explain how I got here.
I was affected by this recession just like everyone else. I experienced reduced sales, reduced income, evaporating profits, higher debt ratios and business losses. In one case, the losses were enough that I chose to close one of my businesses. These are not the sort of things I enjoy.
