The Rich Get Richer…
At 24 years old, already in this life I have seen a fair amount of historical events. I have seen the gulf war, dark TV screens lit by the green tracers of military war fare. I have seen two economic booms and busts. The proliferation of computers and software from the $5,000.00 desktop to the $200.00 iPhone. I have seen a terrorist attack on american soil, its effects on a people, a nation and economy. I have seen the overly optimistic result of the dot com boom and housing boom. I have seen a free christian nation free the oppressed nation of an islamic country from its dictator through force and democratic murder sentence.
In these strange days one thing remains constant. “The rich get richer and the poor get poorer”. How beautiful. For those of lack mentality, poverty mentality, and lack of personal responsibility this is a heavy burden to bare. For me, for those of my similar thought process it is a time to rejoice.
I hear of this “bad housing” economy. However I daly see the construction of a 10,000 square foot home on my way to work. I receive an email from the Greenbriar Sporting Club that states they have had one of their best years to date with over $24,000,000.00 in sales. Who ever these buyers are, they are surely not participating in this “dire economic situation”. For me this is a time to realize the fact that if I can think and act like these people, I will never have a personally “dire economic situation”.
look good

I don’t want to belittle people who may have lost jobs, but I’m personally not seeing stuff all that bad. I’m working hard and still seeing business growth, etc. I have to suspect that alot of the doom and gloom is just political posturing. I also suspect that a large portion of the people hit by the economic downturn are people who made bad decisions and were not wise with their money and/or careers. Not all, of course, though.
