Which is why it's

looking better than living here in the "modern first world" society. Bottom line, our current society is on the exact same path of self destruction from within as the very powerful and very, very influential Roman Empire, that lasted for over 1,000 years and spanned far more territory than the piddly US has or ever will.

Unless we get greed, corruption under control and a separation of church and state as well as fixing our current method of financial dealings, this nation will be not only morally bankrupt but financially devastated to the point that we may never come back from it.

Don't think it can happen? Review history, for those that fail to do so and to learn from it, will inevitably repeat it... over and over and over.

Bottom line, the current credit method of payment is abused and over extended. We have actually regressed back to the middle ages of servitude to fiefdoms, but now instead of land barons we are enslaved to corporations. So again I pose the question, are we really better off than we were before? I say no, we are in far worse shape than ever. Slavery by way of indentured servitude to creditors is here and now and reality. Open your eyes people... I am 5 months from finally breaking that routine, in 5 months time I will no longer be a slave to corporate America and I will no longer play the credit game. I will go back to what my grandparents taught me, live simple, live within your means and save for the future. All it takes is the 7 P's

Proper Prior Planning Prevents P!ss Poor Performance. Think and ask yourself these questions before you whip out that charge card:

1.Do I really need this item to survive?
2.Is this a need or a want?
3.Can I wait until a later time to buy this when I have cash?
4.Is the added interest on this purchase worth it?
5.Can I pay this purchase off before interest accrues?

Live by those simple questions and you will be surprised at how easy life becomes and how fast you can start saving. The key is THINK!
