As this excellent article points out, it is all about attitude. http://moneyning.com/frugality/7-hab...frugal-people/ coin change a A quick quote from the beginning: ===== The book 7 Habits of Highly Effective People has sold over 15 million copies since it was first published in 1989, teaching people all over the world how to live a happier, more successful and more satisfying life. One of the prevailing themes of the book is the fact that to change your life you need to change your attitude because no one else is responsible for what happens to you but you, so you can either complain about the things you don’t like in your life or you can set about changing them. ===== This is small stuff but; My son paid for his vacation by putting his change including dollar bills in a large mason jar. he had over 400.00 in coin change. Every time we get an solicitation for a magazine, or whatever: every time we get a refund, or small check, and on Monday whatever we have left in the wallet except 20.00 is put into a savings account. I just started the last bit. In four years it is over 7,000.00. Doesn't earn much interest. I and everybody else loses what wasn't spent thanks to Wall Street/Fed/Washington but at least that amount is there if we gotta use it. Whats our dollar worth now three cents? Mad as hell. Looks like Bilderbergs are fulfilling their goals. Gotta find my cave and meadow. Which taste better fescue or blue grass? Funny, I put $10K in a TFSA (Canadian version of a ROTH) just 2 1/2 years ago now, sitting at $23K. Money is attracted to people who know how to manage it. Got this from my grandfather. Wise words. Think of money as a depreciating stock and the entire US government debt dilutes that stock every day. Would you buy a stock like that when you could own precious metals or oil that retains value? How much would a company be worth if they created 20% new no value stock every year? Well, it is that simple as to what is happening to the USD value. DC prints it faster than toilet paper, it will eventually become diluted enough to be toilet paper. You didn't think that 0% interest rate Federal debt was fee did you? According to Greg, that's a very bad idea. |
