What is the best way for the average person to deal with the problems we face.

It is good for each of us to be wiser in how we spend our money. If we practice good spending habits we have better control over our personal finances.

We just share our ideas & are all free to do pretty much as we please.

Each of us touch the life's of others. Most people have good common sense.

When we hit them in the pocketbook we get the attention from the Money Changers.

The Money Changers keep wanting more of our money.

They don't can if we have less to live on.

So we need to show them that we don't need to buy all of the junk they wish to sell Us.

Many of Us have lived with much less than we have now.

Some of even think that wasn't so bad.

You have a point, not the one on your head. (joke) We are constantly bombarded with new things, especially the young people, they are told that they must have the latest phone, tablet, sneaker, or fashion. We started them on this track by buying them the latest fashion, which started a competition to be the most up to date person. The fashion world changes the trend just to keep us buying more stuff. I think I have seen bell bottoms come and go about 4 times. There is a 75 inch TV on the mass market now. Is there any way to change this? Probably not until we can not afford to buy anything new. That day may be coming soon.

Now leave that 75" TV out of this.

That is my one big wish to have. I have the money but no good place to put it.

I am a stay at home type & that would be my contact with the outside world.

Everyone thinks about tomorrow, because yesterdays are done.
Tomorrows outcome Is up to us.
Heartfelt desire,wisdom and faith,
don't define destiny, but rather create space.
A place to occupy, a new life to build.
How odd to consider we have forgotten free will.
Passion ,Lust,and Imagination can inspire,most.
Our Will is our Freedom, Our history our Ghost.
Time will not wait, missing the train,it closes her gate.
Get on board for this ride we all share .
Celebrate life if you dare.

That's the last thing you need.
When the natural or man made emp,shuts down everything, your TV will be nothing but a bookend or doorstop.

Well, as long as it's made of 1/2 inch stainless steel links and grounded through a 2 inch copper rod about 6 feet deep.
I don't think tinfoil and wire will be able to redirect the charges.

very well put moldy
my grand kids are certainly out of control
their parents though just keep on buying anything their little hearts desire
I really believe if they would make the youngsters do without and learn to make do with what they already have,that they would grow into much better adults
people nowadays don't know what it is like to have to strive and save enough to make a down payment on something they really need.
