Jim Donovan, the Ageless Boomer

I happened to catch the TV news the other night as they were doing a story about how we have too much debt, not enough savings and don’t know what to do about it. I posted this comment on the American Broadcasting Company’s message boards:

Cindy Taylor (and most other American’s) say- “I think often about . . . I need to save, I need to pay down my debt, I need to invest,” Taylor said. “But I really don’t even begin to understand how to do that.”

It starts with taking personal responsibility for the mess. You then use the grey matter between your ears to develop ways to increase your income while systematically reducing your debt. It may not be so simple but it’s easy enough.

We are living in a time of more opportunity for wealth than we’ve ever seen in this world. We have libraries filled with books to help and courses on every street corner.

The way out of debt is by maing more money. I’ve writen about this myself as have a ton of other people.

We have teenagers in far off countries making money on the Internet and in a myriad of other creative ways while the adults in the US sit and whine.

We have to get over being victims and take ownership of our lives once again.

The real problem is that we all (well, some of you:-) bought into the idea that your income comes from your JOB. It doesn’t. For starters, everything we need was put here by our Creator. Then, consider that your company, whoever they are, pays you for your contribution. It is not a gift. You earn it with your skills.

If Betsy Stark could not manage on her network salary, believe me, she would figure out a better way. Once someone takes responsibility for their situation, they are empowered to do something to change it.

Anyone expecting the government to step in and save them better get used to eating pet food. Decide what you want and take some action.
