Still ticking folks

October 28th, 2008 at 02:47 am

My life seems to be on a rollercoaster of sorts. I am not able to type too much today but will catch up at the end of the week when the kidos are at dad's house.
Was at the indoor waterpark and it was sorta fun. It took my paycheck and then some!!! Plus my one daughter was really giving me some attitutde....well I lost it for 10 min. So that was not fun. All in all I got thru all the dance stuff. SO back to reality today. I am really looking forward to my weekend....I need the space desperately!

So that was depressing to watch my money literally fly out of my hands. Yet it was eye opening all at the same time! The one gal I sat with most of the weekend who has not had a job for one year told me all about her great shopping she does. She managed to buy a ton of stuff while at the waterpark. How many purses can one person own? How many webkinz?? How many sunglasses??? It was creepy. Nice gal but is this unemployed gal for real??? I mean how many fake chanel purses can one person store???
I was thrilled to be me at that point. I have one brown purse and one pair of brown shoes. Boring but simple. Again --is this really how many Americans live??>>
I almost had a migraine listening to her go on and on about spending. When she told me she liked tanning and I asked her where and she said her basement as she owns a tanning bed...well at that point I had to walk away and get some fresh air.

I like my life oh so simple and oh so boring I guess....with no credit card debt! I just think people have got to wake up NOW...so many people are in for a rude scary new awakening.....save money and spend less...prepare for the worst. No president can get us out of this mess anytime soon. I truly believe that. Stop shopping and buying junk and stupid things. That would be my message to anyone today. It is critical we adopt new thinking that is radical...... now.

    I certainly do agree! I just went to a Halloween party and the hostess spent at least $15,000! I have a pair of brown shoes too that cost about $30 and I have been wearing them for at least 8 years. You are right, how much "stuff" do people need??

    $15,000!!! OMG! That is nuts. I enjoy being thrifty plain and simple. I just don't know how else to live.
    I am more intereseted in my inner man rather than pleasing others and the outer man. By the way I enjoy your blog! Such good wisdom.
