Totally Disgusted but Getting Better…

Posted in Extreme Couponing, Public Issues tagged , , at 7:08 pm by careenw

So,  I haven’t posted anything since the election.  I was just so totally disgusted about the results and the implications for the next four years.  I have already tried to pull my 401K but unless I leave my job I have to keep that money where it is.  But, that doesn’t mean I have to keep putting money in it.  Looking at putting everything in an IRA Money Market.  Just in case I have to make a run for it.  Also, a little concerned that my job may be in jeopardy once the new banking regulations come into play.  Does anyone else have a fear that their jobs will be gone once the new tax hikes go into place or Obama care starts?  Well, I have decided to start focusing on what I really need to do to plan for a future for my family.  Which means, I will be couponing like crazy and checking out every sale I can find.  Btw,  I have also been reminded that Thrift stores and Consignment shops ROCK!!!  Anything I can do to save a dime.  Then I am going to go bury those dimes in the back yard.

Everyone check out my money saving posts.  It’s almost Black Friday and the sales will be vast.

’Free gas’ offer triggers rush in NY before state says public must wait.

Living in Alabama on the Gulf Coast I can appreciate what these people are going through.  I can only hope that the President Obama can pull himself away from his campain trail for a few moments to assist in making life better for the people of New York and New Jersey area.

First Thoughts: Why tonight’s debate could be so crucial, Part 2.

Not sure I agree with MSNBC but I do feel it is important to watch the debates to make sure you have all the information.  Sometimes watching the debates can make you really look at what someone is saying.

Suspicion of poll, jobs numbers takes hold on right

Suspicion of poll, jobs numbers takes hold on right.

Everyone needs to remember that little green book we all got in College, “How to Lie with Statistics.”  Ignore the polls and just get out an VOTE…  If you don’t get out and vote then you will have no right to complain if it doesn’t go your way.

Drug overdose may have killed woman who won $1 million in lottery but kept getting welfare.

I just don’t know what to say about this.  Their are just so many things that are wrong with this story.  Guess I have to wonder how this young girl was raised to have come to such a crapy ending in life.

McQueary Seeks $4 Million From Penn State

McQueary Seeks $4 Million From Penn State.

What a huge mess.  It is sad how the actions of one have ruined the lives of so many.  This makes the saying, “The sins of the father are passed on to the son.” so true.  The sins of Sandusky have been passed on not only to his victums but also to the school staff, students and alumi.  I can only hope and pray that everyone affected will one day be able to live a more normal life.
