The Invisible Bathmat

http://ping.fm/gDCrg Wow this is amazing after the $1 housing offer from the developer gave in Miami a few days back. This is so cool to read the words from an article stating the obvious to everyone except the ones living in the debt. We often think as humans that we will recieve a magic pill of sorts that will make us feel better if we just had this thing or that thing. A comfort if you will. We all have the delusion that our life will be better somehow if we just had one more material thing or just a little more money. I am guilty :( but I think I do better than most in this department because I now pay cash for the things I want. So that limits the things I can buy also I have made lots of money and due to changing markets in the past I have lost that money. So I wake up again the next day and do it all over again. Today is another day and I have a new project. Look I found a way to treeat my buying that works for me, first I try to pay cash, second I look at my bank account everyday to see whats really there and try to look into the future and see if I pay $100 for an item today and $100 or close to it each day for things I want outside of regular bills, then reality sets in and SCREAMS to me dude what are you doing that is $35,600 dollars each year just to have some things that I probably will give away anyway. Ok you see my point, when we use credit your still spending that $100 daily but its not just $100 it is actually double that by the time you pay it off, so I want us all to look at this article and try to take something away from it. Something positive and curb your apatite for just a little while and see what happens take the time to keep track of what your not spending and see how fast it adds up. So again , it is a glass half full kind of thing but this is a big one!!!!!!!! cuz it is the future everyday your looking at when you analize a bit before spending. Hey has anyone thought of a new project today? I have so I am off to try it out you will hear about it soon. For those that asked ... you can follow me on the blog at http://ping.fm/7WATI
