flourish boutique: CNN Survivor Stories - Family Sells Home To Save Flourish Boutique

CNN.com has been featuring many stories of families who have been affected by the current economic crisis. Today there is a story about Vanessa Cooreman Smith and her husband Steve who have had to sell their house by the lake in order to keep her business going during the recession.

It was the Vanessa's dream to run her own successful store and she is doing everything possible to keep the Flourish Boutique going despite slowing sales. The Indiana couple and their son have moved to a smaller home with affordable mortgage payments.

The key to survival of both businesses owners and those who are just working a job to make ends meet seems to be to cut back as much as possible. This couple is lucky that they were able to downsize into a cheaper home because unfortunately there are many families who are unable to sell their home in the current real estate market.
