Platform: Economy

So what do you do about the economy? 

We have overspent, overcharged... and we ask for relief.

Do you spend more than you earn? 

Is that a good practice? 

Do you do like I did and make just enough to get by, before the credit cards mailings hit?

MasterCard, Visa, Sears, JC Penney, and many more. 

YOU HAVE GREAT CREDIT they said. Until we started to use them. 

And then pay off the interest only, then more bills, and more interest. 

It took me two years to pay off the first batch of credit "free" bills, then another two years to get caught up on other "credit" bills to avoid being bankrupt. 

And all around me people are paying credit cards for food. A basic necessary--- FOOD. Feed our family on credit? 

So how is your savings? 

Do you save a little or save a lot?

With the money market tanking, are all your savings.... or money you never had anyway, sinking to nothing?

So now what?

Don't worry be happy.

It's only money. Money you never had anyway. 

Just live for today and let tomorrow come what may.
