Thoughts About the Stimulus Package
Here we are, with a “new” stimulus package. I am afraid that pumping non-existant money into an already failing system is just wrong. We are all just so hung up on our stuff, that the thought of giving it up scares us silly. The truth is when the fountain was overflowing, we all drank, and now that there is a crunch we ALL need to cut back to the bare essentials. I find it amuzing, not really, that our government is cutting back funding for education while our local power company just paid $250,000 in a small town to put a new shelter in a local park. Do they not get it? No, truly none of us gets it, because if we did we would just ride this economic crisis out allowing those who are living above their means to have to cut back. Instead, what is happening is the big “power” company’s in this country are saying, not us, we shouldn’t have to cut back, however, all that they are really doing is putting the burden on us to carry them, and that just isn’t right.
It is a time for consequences and for those who have been living within their means, it should be okay. Sure, I think that the government should help out those working folks who are facing unemployment because of this madness, however, everyone else and their bonuses and oversized homes, need to just take a good hard look at themselves and how they are living above their means, and they need to change. As long as we continue to provide them with the money that they don’t have to feel the pinch, then we are just feeding their dilusions and that is what got us here in the first place.
Keeping More Of Your Money By Getting Free Stuff
With financial times being hard and more and more people becoming unemployed , things are looking a little grim. For some they are really struggling, however there are some people out there who are just cutting back and keeping their fingers crossed. In any case, no matter who you are or what type of life you are living, there obviously have to be some changes with prices rising and less and less companies and people being able to keep their heads above water. Well, I have just come across some very good ideas for getting things and and giving them away for nothing. I have found a web site called freecycle.org, and this site does listings for people just giving things away. The things that people are getting rid of vary from home furnishings to bags of old newspapers, and the most amazing thing is that pretty much everything goes. There is also a way to put on what you are looking for, however you are only encouraged to put a wanted ad up about once a week. This site is really for those looking to unload. Some things are old, but some are in excellent shape and the best thing they are all absolutely free for the picking up. The groups on this site are divided up into areas and so you choose an area close to where you live, so that you can easily exchange with others in your area. It is incredible. I have only been a member for a few days, and there are lots of good things that have been listed just in that short a period.
This site is not meant to barter or trade, it is solely for those looking to give away stuff, or get stuff for free. Some of the best items I have i got for free and that was even before joining this site. For instance a friend of mine was getting rid of the stuff in her father’s house for him, and I got a chest freezer for free and had it delivered and put in place for nothing also. I also got a couch for nothing, a dining room set for free, and got a foosball table in exchange for some massage chairs one time. There are lots of opportunities available, and this site helps put them all together. So be sure to tell your family and friends to get online and check it out.
