Free Write Rant

Ten Minute Free Write On Affluenza…


Well it sure doesn't apply to me, and I find the whole subject tedious.
Want want want.. is not a part of our vocabulary, we have done fine with very little and I find it hard to be sympathetic toward greed.
We don't have TV, so the kids don't think they need tons of new toys, we don't have expensive cars, we are thankful for one that runs.
My head isn't turned by the latest fashion. (Obviously)
I dated a couple of wealthy men a time or two, they are CHEAP!That's why they still have the money. The rest are merely living beyond their means, and need to live without credit, live without want of luxury
Luxury to me is paying bills on time and eating fresh fruit and vegetables.. Luxury to me is being able to buy the Viking a pair of shoes when he needs them.
Bankruptcy would be a result of too many doctor bills, no job and no place to live and NO other way out.
Bankruptcy would never happen because of over spending like there is NO tomorrow.
Its like drugs, just say no, and get over yourself.
Shopping as a past time? NEVER!
One thing we like about Idaho is there is so much to do, that is free. Shopping is for groceries, or the best deal on school clothes.
Let me ad that I am part of a blended family, My daughter, son-in-law, grandkids and son all live together in one house. We conserve, pay bills buy food, and do things together as a unit. It would never occur to us to spend money to the point of bankruptcy. So I hear that the President is tightening laws on Bankruptcy.. GOOD. Make those who are over their head responsible for the debt, and pay it off in full. The only exceptions would be family hardship such as illness or accident.
When I lived in Seattle, an older woman was living in her car, She had owned her home in California, and her husband became ill with terminal cancer. She lost everything, that is WRONG, no one should ever become homeless over medical expenses, it should make the spend thrifts hang their head in shame at their wastefulness.
Which brings me to Socialized medicine.. I know someone else that had to spend their kids college money on cancer treatments. WRONG WRONG again, that sort of thing makes me mad,don'tt even talk to me about people in debt with their big screen TVs and expensive gas guzzlers, it just ticks me off!
