Good times & hard times, and what we can do about.

One day we will all loose the people we love weather it’s a wife, son, grandfather, or girlfriend but we always know that there in a better & safer place. But an even increasing fear is taking hold of Americans and is right on our doorstep financial loss, job loss, savings loss, and closed banks. Our ancestors went through the same thing and lived through it like a compelling drama story. Every American family had times when money was flowing good, dad had days off, mom was happy, money for fun activities, plenty of food, and lots of stuff for everybody to buy(cheap stuff). But we are to use to an ever lazy, stuck up, none caring lifestyle that must change with an oncoming horde of inflation, high gas & food prices, loss of purchasing power, decreasing jobs, and a tax burden that’s sinking us. We ultimately face two choices one be a slave to our job or perhaps work a second job, or be smart and quit our greedy wants and desires. We are facing interesting and terrifying times, but you can always improve your odds of making it in life. Here’s how
1. Big Corporations are distributing their jobs over to third world countries, and are exporting their labor out to Mexicans & Indians (India) for cheaper labor. The American man is diminishing from the scene, and the only opportunity lies over seas & self employment. The Computer is the new slave. Weather you graduated high school or college you can apply your knowledge to the internet and make great sites on job advice, country getaways, what to buy, history, school curriculum, or what you learned in school. The Internet is the future…
2. For families they must stop their gimme habit, and start being self sufficient & conserve money. For movies, music, & games you can get those all on the computer thanks to the help of piracy. Cut your kids dose on goodies & candies because it’s not worth getting medical bills over your kid’s health. Medical is rising in the US and it’s only getting more complicated & expensive. You put your kids on well healthy balanced diet, proper hygiene, and get on their case of brushing & flossing their teeth EVERY NIGHT!
3. Energy costs: 6 minute showers, planned car trips, use fluorescent light bulbs, use natural gas, ride your bike or walk, keep the thermostat(if you live in cold) at 75, switch to wood stove, wind, and solar power energy. Use power strips, unplug power cords when item is fully charged, either put computer to sleep or unplug all cords to outlet, and always unplug electronic items when not in use. And turn off a light when not in use!!!
4. No worries about books there are tons of E-Books online.
5. Today you can use (if in hot climate) recumbent battery bikes since being energy efficient, and incredibly cheap to use or motorcycles. And don’t fall into your gluten ways and only eat what you need.
