Bad Economy is good for family values

This is the first of a multi-part post in which I will discuss the impact of a soft economy on the family. A soft economy often means scaling back some extravagances in the family budget. Things like movies, dinners at restaurants, the buying of new toys and gadgets, etc. are often the first thing to go in a family budget. In many cases, this is a blessing in disguise. An attentive parent can see opportunities to spend more time with their kids and for their family to grow together.

Over the next few posts I will focus on opportunities that can be gained to help families to spend more time together and grow stronger during an economic slow down. I'll also focus on external things happening outside the family that are impacted by a sagging economy that can turn out to improving family values within the United States.

Stay tuned!
