Back to Business

I just returned from a trip to California to visit family.  I wasn’t able to do much posting other than those that I had written ahead of time. So now I’m back and I’ve got to get my blogging brain moving again.

While I was in California I stopped by the mall one day to see if I could find a board game. The mall was completely packed out.  People were out doing all their Christmas shopping and it became very difficult to see the hard times that we keep hearing about in the news. I became a bit concerned, realizing that with so many people struggling, surely some of the people I was seeing, probably many of them, were going in to debt to pay for all the gifts they were buying. I couldn’t help but wonder how life will be in America when we make our way out of the hard times. Will we learn from our mistakes? Will we go back to living off our credit cards and buying things we can’t afford? I wish there were a way to educate more people and convince them that there is a better way to spend their money and ensure that they wouldn’t go back in to the nasty habit of living off credit and not being wise with their money.
