Plan B

 

We all have dreams for our lives. In our minds, we plan who we are going to marry, how many kids we will have, what our career will be and how much money we are making.

But the reality is that life never turns out like we planned. Unemployment, financial troubles, marriage tension, uncertainty about the future in Marion County --  No matter how it looks today, God ALWAYS has a plan. 

And if life hasn’t turned out like you planned, don’t miss Easter Weekend at The Springs!  It is time to embrace PLAN B.

I just registered www.IkilledJesus.us
Not completely sure what I'm doing with it, but it's a start...

I found the image above from a discontinued shirt made by NOTW, but can't find the shirt for sale anywhere.

Do you have any idea where your taxes go? Take a look at the entire 2009 proposed national budget. I wish I could easily print this out to a 3' poster.

Here's one you've got to check out. It's a great spoof of a P.S.A. for the conversion to digital television, showing what will probably happen to those a little beyond the "digital age."

Meetup is the world's largest network of local groups. Meetup makes it easy for anyone to organize a local group or find one of the thousands already meeting up face-to-face. More than 2,000 groups get together in local communities each day, each one with the goal of improving themselves or their communities.

If you're looking for a group to enjoy the outdoors, ride your Harley with, or do a mommy's morning out, this is the place. Organizers post a meetup, and each member can post an attending: yes or no reply.

I'm not really sure what to say about the article below. The fact that anyone believes we could possibly ever hit the $100 trillion mark or higherworries me. I don't even remember what comes after a trillion! At now over $80,000 per family, how long could it take to ever pay this much off with interest? Could it become the problem of  our great, great, great, great, great, great, ...

'1' BIG TICK IS DUE FOR DEBT CLOCK

By KATHIANNE BONIELLO

New York Post

October 5, 2008 --

If you think the national debt is bad, the people who own the National Debt Clock are even more pessimistic: They're planning on reformatting their Times Square-area ticker so it can keep track of a debt 100 times bigger than the current $10 trillion.

With the national debt now at $10.1 trillion, the late Seymour Durst's legendary National Debt Clock has run out of space. To fix it, the Durst Organization plans to add places for two extra digits next year, a spokesman said.

By tomorrow, the digital dollar sign now on the clock will be switched to a number one - the "1" in $10 trillion - until the sign can be redone.

Durst, who died in 1995, put the sign up in 1989 to call attention to the burgeoning national debt. But less than a decade ago, the clock itself was turned off when the national debt decreased.

Mint.com

I found a great resource for tracking your spending and budgeting. It was listed on Clark Howard's website last month, so I decided to try it out. By setting up an account, you link it to all of your other finance websites (bank accounts, credit cards, store cards, retirement accounts) and it will automatically import all of your transactions and balances every time you log in. It will automatically assign the transactions to the appropriate categories.
