Recession Taking A Bigger Toll On Us Than We Thought...


There was sad news today on CNN.com. 53-year-old, Carlene Balderrama committed suicide with a shotgun to her head, right before her house foreclosed. She begged and pleaded with her mortgage company on Tuesday sending them a desperate fax and begging them not to foreclose. But it was no use.. The procedure was in effect and there was no stopping it. Shortly after she sent her fax, she took her own life. Balderrama leaves a husband and a son behind. For full news coverage of this heart-breaking story Click Here. I can't help but think back to the Great Depression of the late 1920's when people were jumping out of skyscrapers because they were so down in debt that they felt they had no way out. Despite our circumstances, they can always be worse. Suicide is never the answer people. What a shame...
