Important Stuff -- Or Not : WOO HOO! No More Daily Grind!

"It would be funny if it were not true" department

This is outrageous that the government can actually get away with this rhetoric. If it is true, then it is even worse. Why single out a workforce group? Further evidence that this health reform is really going to mess things up!

President Obama - Nearly half flunk

This needs to be shared. I just read this article about one of President Obama's, "I'll fix the economy stupid" programs. Were you aware of how devastating it can be? Share this story for others to read.

Nearly half flunk

The administration's most recent report on the Making Home Affordable Program shows that more than one-quarter million participants - 277,640 households - flunked out of the trial-mod program, meaning they will not get long-term help. Often those people are liable for all the past-due amounts accumulated during their trial mods, plus fees and penalties. Slightly more households - 299,092 - did get permanent modifications.

My New Economy - A Startup

When I first joined the workforce out of college, I quickly realized that one can't get financially secure on their salary alone. Back in 1981, I thought $27,000 was all the money in the world, but soon found that I barely had any savings at the end of the month. Managing cost-of-living, life style and compensation for contributing to a corporation is a long struggle. At several milestones, I felt that I 'made it', but that flame was extinguished in an instant when my department was eliminated during the downsizing in 2002.

My New Economy is to start my own business. I have been investing in myself and I am near ready to publish my company objectives and start selling products. I took the "make my hobby, my company" approach. This is the least stressful thing that I can think of and it only requires confidence in yourself and belief in the market for your hobby-product. In future blogs, I will outline the activities that went into this venture.

Please wish me well and support me and others with the same dream and aspirations through encouragement. If you are inclined to value the product, then make a purchase and tell two friends. If its not for you, then still tell two friends who might be interested.

Coming soon to the web-market near you . . .

Happy Mother's Day

Giving back to the community :)

I like this idea ... someone, while on-the-job, is giving away money to people on the street. Isn't that a nice way to infuse and invest in America!

I don't really condone a job-of-crime, but this story made me smile. Thankfully, no one was injured, but, stealing from an institution is really stealing from the individual account holders. You must admit, that amidst all the financial and banking white collar crime, it is pretty easy to rationalize bank robbery.
