Money & Finance For the Average Joe

I have given up looking at the finance news. It just makes me depressed when everything is doom and gloom. Everyone saying how bad the recession is with high prices, low wages and low interest rates. For me it is the best time ever. I am earning lots, paying low interest on my mortgage and the things I buy seem to be getting cheaper. I feel over the moon about the recession and although I know that there are people suffering, I think that the news should recognise that and not just report the depressing side all of the time.
