well, you just covered a couple of things that would be considered the WRONG way to go about it.
Life is what it is. Sometimes you come up with a straight flush, other times there is dog crap in your shoe. Everyone loves it when they're up, but it's when you're down that is a true test of character.
you can sit here and be pissed that you might have to turn in one of your cars, go without cable, sell your house for pennies and move into a 700 sq ft apartment. but the bottom line is that you still have a warm roof over your head, still have your health and the other things that are truly important in life. and as is with everything in life.. for those who no how to handle is the economy is always cyclical. Keep your head down, make your payments that you can afford, and it will come back to high times again.
getting pissed because "the man" put you down is nothing but self pity. it seems cruel to say it, but the best thing a person can do during times like this is the same thing these companies are doing. trim the fat. keep yourself going and you will get a job again, you will be making good money again, and once things start turning around you'll have a leg up over everyone that is sitting there bitching how it's everyone else's fault that they're in the shape they're in.
