Comments on: Financial Services Meltdown — Merrill, and Lehman, and Bear, Oh My! http://www.escapefromcorporate.com/financial-services-merrill-lehman-bear-oh-my/ Escape from Corporate America | Pamela Skillings Fri, 19 Mar 2010 07:26:56 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Chris Vandecar http://www.escapefromcorporate.com/financial-services-merrill-lehman-bear-oh-my/comment-page-1/#comment-1234 Chris Vandecar Fri, 10 Oct 2008 20:24:24 +0000 http://www.escapefromcorporate.com/?p=1353#comment-1234 This certainly is a lesson on being open to new possibilities. Your mention of opportunities in overseas markets is one we have secondary experience with and are considering ourselves. My husband’s college roommate, formerly a teacher, is now an at-home-dad in their new home in Shanghai. This, as a result, when his wife was encouraged to relocate there, or lose her job. Despite the unexpected change in their life plans, they are really enjoying this new experience, and it has become a great business opportunity for her. I just read another relevant article on w2wlink.com, Countering the Myths of Working Abroad, by Stacie Nevadomski Berdan (http://www.w2wlink.com/Articles/Countering-Myths-Working-Abroad-Part-artid260.aspx). Thanks for encouraging all of us to look for opportunities within this financial market crisis. This certainly is a lesson on being open to new possibilities.

You would be surprised (not?) how personal expenditures rose to meet available income while times were good.
