Sorry - Financial Crisis Worse Than I First Thought

Going to dentist right now, but will try to get back to this later. Meanwhile, these urgent suggestions:

1. Pay off your debts
2. Cut back on spending
3. Save money like crazy, and hang on to it
4. Do not put your money at risk - invest extremely carefully
5. Finance your own retirement.
6. Tithe! (You should want the blessing, if nothing else.)

These two links will give a good running start on assessing this and future crises:
