Unemployment is decreasing. Jobs are being created and the economy is improving. Or so we hear. I think such optimism premature and fanciful. Personal experience has shown me the way solvency in this quicksand economy isn't job hunting, college or even working a traditional job. Survival requires proactive, divergent thinking. For me, that meant quitting the traditional job and working online. I'm not promising get-rich-quick gimmicks, but common-sense, forward-thinking earning and saving tips.
