Money. It really is the root of all evil. One of our fellow classmates had written this and really got me to thinking about it. It’s true. We never seem to have enough of it, and we spend every waking moment trying to figure out how to get more of it and how to spend what little we do have! There never seems to be enough of it either. At least in my case. Our budget at my house gets constant revisions all the time. We have become masters at the revision! My wife and I had learned how to stretch that dollar so far I think it will snap sometimes. We always seem to make it right to the wire.
Everything in this economy has gone through the roof. It’s all a trickle effect. Gas has gone up again, that in turn causes everything to skyrocket up. It costs more to transport goods, so we then pay more. Groceries are on example of goods gone crazy! I have 3 kids at home that eat like wildfire. (Teenagers) my grocery budget is way out of hand, and we shop with coupons all the time! But what can you do. You just have to adjust, and go on and hope you will see it through the end of the month.
Our President just now released oil reserves. This is something that should have happened long ago. That is what they are there for. Now it’s all political in motivation. All it did was drive up Gas cost again. The opposite effect of what was intended. The Republicans and Democrats can’t seem to get it through their heads what it is going to take to revive this economy. I never thought I would see a day like we are living in now. What am I leaving my kids?
