Reality Woes



Is it just me or is television a sure way to make you feel bad about your financial situation? Whether it’s the Real Housewives of Orange County or Million Dollar Listing, money is all over the tube. I know everyone is feeling the pinch of the downturn in the economy but everyone is not hit in the same way. If you were worth $500 three years ago and are worth -$500 today you cannot compare that to being worth $50 million and now down to $30 million. It just doesn’t make sense. I love seeing into the lives of the “upper crust” of society but damn if it doesn’t make me wonder why I was born on this side of the tracks! Going to school to better yourself isn’t really helping nowadays either. There are people with masters degrees or higher who are unemployed. Gas is waaaay up, home values are waaaay down and the price of cotton is even being affected. Not only that but we are at war and people are losing their lives every day. It’s a sad time and it looks like there is no way up and out of this mess. What do I suggest? STAY ON YOUR GRIND! Don’t give up keep riding till the wheels fall off, it will pay off. And use the television for inspiration not desperation, and most valuable of all….Don‘t compare. Comparison will land you in Belleview or jumping off your local bridge! Lol (I love seeing rich people acting a fool on National television, it’s the best thing since sliced bread – SO Enjoy!)
