What About Tomorrows Money?

September 22, 2008

I normally do not like to talk about politics but I have to say that what I see happening in our country scares the heck out of me.

Things are getting tough and you really need to start thinking about tomorrow.

My significant other and I are living in our home that we are still paying for. He is 58 years old and working 3 jobs “thats right 3 jobs”. I am 56 years old and I work 2 jobs. “Guess what”! We”re struggling. Five jobs and barely making it.

Well, I am thinking about tomorrow. I have never really worried about tomorrow before. Now, after September 11th and because of the financial problems that our country is facing today. I am worried about tomorrow, next year, etc.

What I am doing is paying off all of my debts (credit cards, etc). This will take some time (approx 3 years) and this does not include the home, (that will come later).

Then when debts are paid off we won’t have as much of a problem with financial survival.

If the United States is out of trouble by then (fingers crossed) then I will be doing really well. If the united States is still in trouble then I will not be struggling so hard.

Don’t just assume that everything is going to get better, because none of us knows what is going to happen at this point.

So please, be safe and take care.

PS: Please tell me if you have thoughts of your own on a better way of handling this matter.

“GOD BLESS AMERICA” AND “GOD BLESS YOU”!
