Has anyone else noticed lately that they don't have ANY extra spending cash? I really don't feel like my spending habits have changed but for the past several months, I get to the end of a pay period, just before payday and I am BROKE. I have dipped in to my line of credit (a life saver as without it, I would have overdrafted at least a dozen times over the last 2 years) more recently than ever. Basically, my money does not go very far anymore. And I blame out of control inflation and increased cost of living.And do you know who I blame for that? Bush and his cronies. (Then again, I pretty much blame everything on Bush..."Oh, you got fired from your job? I blame Bush." Or, "Oh, your daughter flunked out of high school? I blame Bush." Or, "Oh, you got syphilis over the weekend from too much orgy sex? I blame Bush.") But all joking aside, it's all a ripple effect...Iraq war leads to higher oil prices which leads to higher gas prices which leads to higher food prices...and higher prices for everything else. Has anyone tried to book a flight or hotel recently? THEY ARE RIDICULOUS. And you know what? I BLAME BUSH.
Does anyone else feel like they are just waiting for the other shoe to drop? Something's gotta give, right? I mean luckily for me, in a few weeks I'll start making really good money. But in this country, most people are really getting screwed. The poor are getting poorer and the middle class is shrinking. But Bush's cronies aren't hurting...
BTW, that picture...all I did was do a google image search for "no money" and found that. I have never heard of Henry Lee Summer but I totally dig his hot hair and I just know that if I heard his music, I'd love it.

My new radio obsession is The Dave Ramsey Show ( www.daveramsey.com ). I listen online. He was once rich, then broke and bankrupt, and knows what everyone goes thru with money. He helps people get out of debt, and while we haven't completely plunged into the kool-aid, we're taking sips. After our current projects are done, I hope to get into it more. People are always calling up saying, "We had $20K in debt, and paid it off in 16 months on a household income of $50K." I also like the people who make over $100K who decided to get out of debt because they make too much money to not have anything left when they get their paycheck. Sigh...I wish I could just bite the bullet!
