A New Beginning

I have not posted for some time, and now it is time to begin anew.

I thought that I was not really reaching an audience at all, and was not just hoping to post my thoughts, but to find like minded people on a similar quest.

I have been too much a part of the American lie for too long.  I have bought too much stuff, built up too much debt, and now I have had the final wake up call.

I have been laid off from my job.

It’s ironic that my employer (past tense), after laying off so many people, have positioned themselves to receive bailout funds from tax payers.

I was not entirely asleep before, yet I was still in the long line of other people who do not realize how precarious their position in the world is.

I pray that if you are lucky enough to still have your normal income, that you pay off your debt, and save a cushion.  The government, the economy, and your employer (most likely) is not concerned with your stability in life.

They are only concerned enough to make sure the basic mechanics of the economy keep turning.

Let’s band together to build a new economy.  Have you ideas on how to save money.  How can we help each other?
