Jami I am a serious woman but love laughing to. Around here things are serious we dont live in a dream world, I am very serious when it comes to my neighbors struggling, I do worry about our young peoples futures, I cant turn the other way when I see a best friend have to sell all their cattle because they cant buy hay for the winter. But just maybe I can think of something to make her laugh so the pain of it is better. I am thinking of recommending she take up preaching as one old feller said here it sure beats farming HA

You girls chatting has made me think about the choices I make.
No don't have credit cards, cause we don't make enough bucks. Maybe that has been a good thing in the long run.
I think we each have to deal with our own hearts and lives and be honest. Can we really afford the lifestyle that we live. That question has made me think. Neither a borrower or a lender be was my folks motto, and it sure worked for them.
Now I have to say, I wish I had been a better saver, and have had to deal with myself in that perspective. We need to have a savings account. So that needs to begin again for this household.
Every penny counts is true. It means being more aware of where every penny is going. I may be almost 52 but I can always learn and take stock.

I wrote to my reps to vote NO on the first Paulson proposal. Since the amended measure was passed regardless of many citizen's requests, I will hope/pray fervently that the bailout will at least let the economy down gracefully, instead of with a mighty crash. I don't believe the bailout will cure the markets, however, for too many reasons to list here. Be well, everyone.

I wrote too to my Senator and he voted no twice...good boy.
Miss Wilma...you're like me, I am a realist and it means I'm always taking stock in the situation, but I'm lucky to have an optimist bent to me...so I am always trying to make good of the situation and find a solution or find some peace in it if I can't get it fixed. I have to laugh daily or I just cannot stand myself.
Carol Sue, I am right behind you in age and am still learning new things each and every day...think we'd be pretty bored if we knew it all, don't you? Money is one of those things in life that teaches a hard lesson usually from a self-inflicted wound! But don't we just pick ourselves up and brush ourselves off and start again. No time like this moment to get something new and better going for ourselves.

Hey Jamie,
Didn't know what age you were!!!! YOu go girl....
I think as long as each of us continue learning and teach what we are learning to our kiddos, than there will be improvement.
So here is to farmgirls learning from the mistakes around us and being honest with our own finaces, we can start there.
If it won't start from the top down, we shall do it from the bottom up. Shoot that sounded kinda bad, hope you all know what I mean.
The challenge for me is watching all those people who have money markets and other investements and these are there retirements...Ughhh, no fun at all.
