Excuses? Attempts Legitmize your poor money managment? What, you didn't plan to have kids? What, you NEEDED a new car? What, you HAD to buy your kid that new video game? <BR/><BR/>Try these simple steps ... get a job & keep it, plan ahead (yes that means both with your money and with when you're gonna have kids), try saving money instead of spending it, try not splurging. You can control your own finances, and you're not being held back because of George W.

In fact, the statistics clearly show that "financial freedom" is not attainable for a large percentage of Americans. This kind of rhetoric seeks to blame the victim for their economic fate rather than acknowledge the huge role that conservative government policy has played in the stagnation of family incomes and the prevalence of usury.Charles Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02975241234146573609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27549167.post-80936301930766567682007-04-10T09:32:00.000-06:002007-04-10T09:32:00.000-06:00I thought you two might appreciate this column.
