SUN IN TAURUS–TIME TO FOCUS ON FINANCES
This is the time to focus on finances. With the current state of the U. S. and global economic situation we are heading into more challenging times. We have survived the past 5 years of monetary contraction with some tepid signs of moving beyond the longest recession since World War II. Even though there are some positive signs of sustainable recovery we are about to enter into another and deeper phase of contraction. We should each get our financial house in order to the best of our ability. That means reducing monthly overhead or expenses and reduce your debt as much as possible. Put as much money into savings as you can. But not in the stock market. It is about at the top and another severe stock market correction is coming. Try to secure and expand your income if possible.
