So here goes my try at blogging. I'm sure this will be a rambling, hard to follow, often boring attempt. ( much like me) But maybe once in awhile I'll entertain you with the mundane. I am a Mommy of three young humans and two canines. I love books. I live in my Mayberry... and things arent always as they seem. I am always a day late, a dollar short, and a complete disorganized mess. Its fun. And it sure is fun to watch.
So Banks are failing, and Wall Streets a mess... and insurance companies, well, I guess "we the people" now own one. And I, the staunch Democrat, have an opinion on that, as I do on everything else in this universe. So, I don't really want to bail these guys out. (Because they sound alot like the Ken Lays, Jeff Skillings and John Rigases of the world, among other things.) When you have an idea like Universal Healthcare for the citizens- SOCIALISM! But Wall Streets failing, you want the taxpayers to save you, SOCIALISM!- but that kind is ok? I don't really want my money to go for that sort of thing. I'd rather put it to use for something else. I have to say, I kind of, GASP! agree with the House Republicans on this one. We live in a starter home, within our means, our mortgage is secured by a local bank that will not sell our note. We dont use credit cards. One car is paid for, the other isn't...but it will be. Were cheap, i guess. But we have three wee ones. We used to live a whole lot better on a whole lot less eight years ago. We felt the sqeeze on the middle class first hand, and that may have something to do with why I don't feel like helping out people who could care less about my family. President Douche first and foremost. Yet..... My Man works at a dealership, so we need for open lines of credit to keep the dealership secure. My friend who's kids are in my charge works at a bank.....so we need for things to go well. I just disagree with bailing them out. Funny how shit flows downhill . I am not better off now, than I was eight years ago. Are you? Oh, and our income has almost doubled.
I just wanted to say thanks for your comments, they really calmed me down. And I agree with you about living inside your means, not aways easy but always worth it. I was brought up never to borrow, and apart from my student loan I've stuck with it. Currently I'm in a better state than many of those I went to school/ Uni with. If you bring children up to be resposible with money it serves them well in later life. XX
