Dizzy

For the past week I have tried to write an update to my blog. I start writing and then listen to the financial news, my head starts to spin and I start all over again. My head has been spinning so fast this past week that honestly I like many of my fellow Americans didn't know which way was up.

Well I think I am finally right side up, realizing that like many retirement is no longer in our vocabulary. We knew it would be at least another 20 years but now I think we realize we will be in our motorized wheelchairs long before retirement is ever even on our radar.

I like many am stupefied by the latest stock market upheaval. I often question the concept that what is good for the rich is not always equal for the poor. Poor obviously being me. I am required to keep my family on a budget, pay our bills on time, smile as I write another tax check, and laugh as the cost of living climbs well out of our reach for living. All the while the government continues to overspend on their budget ("just tax the poor schmucks more, we are the government our budget is only on paper no one expects us to really live by a budget").

Can you imagine if a collection agency actually went and knocked on the door of the White House? HA!!

I know, supposedly in a democratic society, we the people are actually the government. So then why is everyone else making decisions for me on how to spend my money. And why if I want to tighten "my" budget does someone keep spending "my" money and increasing "my" taxes.

Well you can now see why my head has been spinning and I am so dizzy, yes besides the fact that I am a blond...hahaha

When someone figures out how to stop all this spinning please share the solution with me.

Oh Bother.......
