...things are never really that bad, are they? I mean, no matter what happens we're essentially faced with two choices at the end of each day - survival and death. No matter what - whether you miss a few payments on your credit card or get hit with hundreds of thousands in medical bills - no financial quandary can really end it all for you. Unless you owe the mob. That's probably a little different.
Somewhere along the line we've all been fooled in to believing that having means living. So we rack up our credit cards, take out personal loans, buy big houses and cars - because we've all been fooled by those wealthier than us in to believing that TRUE HAPPINESS lies in emulating their every move.
This accomplishes two things - the rich get richer while you and I get either poorer or more confined to the middle class.
My goal for this year - and indeed for the rest of my life - is to enrich myself with experiences rather than with stuff.
Let's see how that works.
