the money issue

Money is always the biggest issue we currently have in the United States. People always seem to know how to live above their means. While working as a sales rep for a door to door company i experienced this first hand. I would sell in some of the biggest homes Ive ever seen, 4000 to 5000 square foot houses. the funny thing was these people couldn't afford what i was offering most of the time they admitted they needed the product but didn't have the funds to pay for the services i offered (pest control).
I imagine due to the jobs recently lost and lost money from all over the country a lot of these people will be sore for a few years and may have even lost their houses. unfortunately my job will be effected just as well because of the economy. we gotta remember though in order for the economy to grow a person has to invest in it.

what else is new?

well here is my second post.... I just realized that our crises for the American people is pretty bad. i have just read about the government taking control of the biggest financial firms in America! i don't know if that is a good thing or a great thing either way it has to help. It becomes more apparent to me that the less financial control we have as a society the less freedom we have.
Ive wanted to buy a house. the great thing is i still can with nearly 10 or more percent down and i need a 750 credit score and over 2yrs proof of work. so now i have to wait to buy a house! anyways it seems more and more apparent how little control of my life i have and finance too. i almost feel safer keeping my money in my back pocket than giving it to a bank to keep safe we all know where that has gotten people..

Forgotten

I wouldnt say im very savy about the whole war thing.. But recently i have determined to play my part and speak my mind. I am often reminded that we were attacked first. which i feel gives our country the right to safe gaurd our religion, freedom of speech, families, and all other freedoms we enjoy.I dont know if we even got all the bad guys yet? However as i constantly read and reread the articals placed in magazines, newspapers, and best selling books about families recovering from the 9-11 attacks there has to be a reason we are doing what we are doing over there.
maybe nobody knows where over there is; besides the president and the people fighting for our freedoms. I cant even imagine loosing someone in this war or giving my own life. But i am free and i can go to work this week in my car and get payed what im worth, paying 4 dollars a gallon in gas but im happy and free.
