Saving Money Is Not As Easy As Some Gurus Preach

With all those bills and the necessities of everyday life, how on earth are you able to save? And look at your paycheck with all those taxes – Federal, State, Social Security, Medicare – what do you get, what do you take home? Nothing much. And when you get home, how in God’s name can you look at your kids’ faces and not be worried? How can you sleep at night?
A time comes when you stop thinking like I did some years ago. What can you do? One of the things you do is borrow money. You rent the money knowing fully well you won’t be able to return it to its proper owner. But you have no choice. You have a lousy income if you still get a paycheck.
Imagine those who have lost their jobs and can’t get back to work, not even a lousy part time job. Life is so miserable for many of us. Like the saying goes there is no end in sight. There is no light at the end of the tunnel. It’s all dark. Many of us don’t see nothing.
When the times get better – when? when? -, some of us will get a job, perhaps a full time job. But then again some of us will be laid off. Such a miserable life.
In a Nutshell
But don’t despair. Always hope for the best. The ups and downs are a way of our lives. If there is dark, there is light. If there is the darkness of night, there is always the light of day. For some, there is always light in their lives.
In a Nutshell
Some day, we will get out of this rat hole. Some day. This post is dedicated to my 60s friend who at the age of 58 lost his job a year-and-a-half ago and haven’t been able to get back to work.
