Uncertainty

I'm probably getting a raise.  I almost hate saying that now.  It feels gloat-y. I have a couple friends who have lost jobs, and another who is having trouble getting one to start with.  I mean, I'm only getting 1% in an annual adjustment, but I'm getting a bump up to the next pay grade too, so thats another hundred or so a month.  Not a lot, but I'm grateful for it. 

I don't know.  I mean, the governor could announce lay-offs tomorrow for all I know. But right now, things are ok.  I'm getting married in 9 months.  By then we'll have enough money to buy a house (assuming banks are lending!).  I have a good job.  I'm hopeful about Obama and the next 8 years. I have good insurance.  I don't own a house and have no money in the stock market. Gas prices are actually going down. 

But still.  Does this economy make anyone else feel like it could all come crashing down at any moment?
