One of the things that people have been hit hard with is the idea of how their personal finances and planning are going to be affected by the current economic climate.

 What does the state of the world mean to your finances right now?

Many people are more scared to deal with money than ever. Bari talks about the urge to shove bank statements into the drawer without looking at what is happening with your money in the Counscious Bookeeping course. 

During these crazy times, many people are feeling grateful to have jobs at all. Every time we turn around, there is a piece on the news about someone who has taken a job as a janitor because their corporate position was downsized. This is a scary thing to think about. When we find a penny, we pick it up.

 Still, I have been reading quite a bit about the concept of underearning lately, and I think it is especially important to address during a period of transition, like the one we are seeing now.
