Default 7 Habits of Highly Frugal People, or How to Get the Boat You Always Wanted

Or how to get the retirement you always wanted, or just about anything
else. As this excellent article points out, it is all about
attitude.

http://moneyning.com/frugality/7-hab...frugal-people/

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.
=====


It's easy to have a good attitude if you participated on the plus side
of the biggest financial rape of the American people since the days of
the Oil Barons. You can believe you did "did it on my own."
If you're 50 years and can't find a job, a good attitude might keep your
wife from divorcing you.
Nothing wrong with these self-help books if you have an "attitude
problem" and can change that.
But when a smart guy sees the boss reading 7 Habits on company time he
knows the boss's superior gave it to him to read in preparation for
laying off some people. The boss might not even know that yet.
But his superior did. Habit 2 - Begin With the End in Mind.
The sales of these books was mostly to corporate execs, who passed them
out to staff.
The bottom line - if you fail, you didn't follow "The Book."
Doesn't matter whether you followed its precepts or not.
According to the book, you failed.
Much like a Holy Bible, Torah or Koran for "corporatists," but without
the humanistic parts.
Another such "corporatist" book is "Who Moved My Cheese?"
When that one gets passed out to employees, it means "Watch your ass
closely, because we are fixing to bugger whoever we can."
And if you do all you possibly can to avoid that, but still get
buggered, it's because you're not good enough.
So reread Cheese, and get a copy of 7 Habits.
You're just doing something wrong. The Books so say.


Yet another loser sock puppet from "eternal-september.org", the "free"
news server.

When the going gets tough, the tough get going.

They should move elsewhere. This country was founded on the
principles of free enterprise and minimal government and it has
served well. Those who look to government for all of their needs are
losers and on the wrong road.

Did you think?
Free Enterprise?? Is that really at work here?
It is Supplier Side Economics/Government.
A partnership of government and businness.
It is predatory and Global in scope.
American and American Business, that's left are being raped and plundered.
The dollar and the economy is Americans' fault or Wall Street/Washington?
Are you in favor of deconstructing Middle America?
Fine if you ar of the 1/10 of 1% and your loyalties are not to our
Republic, Americans and our future.
Do you favor their flooding America with illegal Aliens?
you have a few spare bedrooms and like to pay extra taxes and higher
prices to support overcrowding and more people, for fewer resources and
other increase social cost; crime?

Wayne thinks he's in charge...

In the absence of a social compact, which Ronald Reagan began tearing
down, free enterprise is for nought. No strong middle class, no country
worth the trouble.

That's wonderful, Wayne, and when some wall street corporate criminals
do away with your pension assets, I'm sure reading the self-help book
you recommend will make everything right again.

What's your next self-help recommendation? "How Praying to Jesus Cured
My Pancreatic Cancer"?

HarryK, then you bet on big fat corrupt government and lost. While you
listened to "Hope and Change" I was watching not the lips but the
numbers and facts.

Hey, I manage my pension assets myself and I made money in the last 3.
Obscene actually. I am now spoiled. You need to think for yourself and
stop letting the politicians do the thinking for you.

One thing is constant throughout human history, the bigger the
government gets, the less the people get.
