The question is, should I plan a vacation in Maine when I am not sure of what the economy is going to do?

The answer to that question solely rests with you. You are the one that knows your financial situation, how stable is your job, if you have a savings account to fall back on in hard times, and how well you manage your money. If you have a job that is in a stable field such as law enforcement, doctor, nurse, dentist, dental hygienist, and other areas where economy does not affect you, then you should not have to worry about the economy so much. As far as 401ks go, and the stock market, they should be looked at as long term investments, so the fact that they are down now, 5 years from now they will most likely be back where they should be.

For most of the team here, we have found that when we buy something, we find a way to pay for it. If one of us  couldn’t pay for it, then it would reflect in credit scores and one would not be able to finance anything anyway.
