Hunker Down
13
Feb
I was just talking with a good friend the other night and asked if he and his wife had plans for the weekend. Without provocation, he stated, we’ll, we’re just going to hunker down. Yeah, he’s from Texas, so I fully understood the term.
Hunker down is what most people are doing these days. I know we’ve been hunkered for a year now and trying to limit our spending to “necessities”. When talking with my buddy, Dave, I told him, our new definition of a night out is stopping by Panda Express or going to Chili’s. Back in the “good-ole-days”, Chili’s was our last resort, now it’s our first stop.
When will we stop the hunkering? We’re not sure, but I think our mind-set has changed dramatically. I’m sure many will criticize and say, yeah, well, you guys should have been more conservative back when money was good. Well, hind-sight is 20-20. If everyone whose in financial peril had taken that view, then this country would probably be in better shape.
Just to be clear, we’re not about to loose our house, far from it. We do not miss our bills, still have great credit and are not in financial ruin. We’re just hunkering down.
