Maybe There is Hope »
At least one person agrees with my fiscal worries. Naturally, others don't.
Maybe the problem isn't just the government. Maybe the problem is that people are so used to what they are getting that they come to look at it as an entitlement instead of something that must be constantly earned. I'm sure I'm guilty of doing the same thing from time to time, but it seems to be the rule in our society, rather than the exception.
When I lost my job earlier this year, we had to make some changes. Not a lot of them, but we definitely had to start paying more attention to where our money was going. We still don't have a budget, but we do try and stay on top of things. And one thing that has really come of it is that we realized just how important it is to hold on more tightly to the things that really matter, and how completely unimportant it is to continue getting caught up in the ridiculous things that we only think are important.
