This Is What Is Really Going On

“Too many people spend money they haven’t earned, to buy things they don’t want, to impress people they don’t like.”

- Will Rogers

I think that about sums it up.  My level of “shock and awe” increases by the day as the Stimulus Bill becomes more like a pork barrel Spending Bill of days gone by.

Where is the adult supervision?

I AM an optimistic person.  I know that I and my family will be OK.  I am somewhat less assured that the broader swath of the population - those that think the government and the central banks actually know what they are doing - will make it through this ongoing financial mess we find ourselves in.

I am reassessing how to best help those that may not be OK on their own.  For now, I will continue to do what I have been doing: talk, mentor, coach and tell it like it is.

Ultimately everyone needs to make the decision to change their lives - if I can help to open a door or two for you, give me a call.
