Instead, we should be grateful that things are no worse than they are.
I believe that if we examine the way of life back in the 1960’s and 70’s we can learn some things that will help us as we approach the world we live in today. For starters, the way of life was more simpler. People simply had less and did less. Today what we need to fix is “how can I simplify my live? Who says you have to have 3 cars in the driveway? What’s wrong with one or two instead? Why put yourself in a position to have to pay multiple insurance, car notes, repair bills, etc.?
Now it is not that I am against having anything. I think that the mentality of our day is more and more and more. Let me ask you, how much is enough? When do you know that you have what you need ( I didn’t say what you want). It’s like the child who goes into the candy store and if they had their way would buy up the whole store.
People today let the world at large dictate what should make them happy. Why is that? Have we as a society gotten so far away from independent thinking that people can no longer make up their own minds? I think not! Deep down, each of us knows what would make us truly happy. I challenge you today to discover for yourself what you need and should have in your life. Then go for it!
You see, you can never fix what
you don’t know is broke. This mentality
that allows others to dictate the direction our lives should go in will break
you. The weight of debt, bad credit,
late payments or just knowing that you owe a lot can be overwhelming. True freedom comes from being in control of
your own destiny. Whenever someone else
dictates your destiny, you are headed for trouble.
Look around you! Don’t you see
people who are drowning under the bondage of debt? Yes they may have a new car in the driveway,
wear new clothes and appear very successful.
But underneath that stuff is someone who may just be one paycheck away
from financial ruin. Just because
something seems a certain way does not mean that it is. So many people are
trying to keep up with the Joneses (no offense, but who are they anyway). But lets face it, the Joneses don’t pay your bills. They have their own.
The truth is, debt is killing our society. Our federal government owes in the trillions (how much is that anyway). The Social Security system is in danger of being in serious trouble in the next 25 yrs. My heart goes out to those who think they will retire to Social Security in years to come because there is a good chance it won’t be there. As a nation we are no longer considered the dominant economic force in the world. Other nations, with less than we have, have started to take a place in the world of high finance due to the lack of debt their country currently carries.
People are drowning in some problems. Maybe you are too. The good news is that if you are, you don’t have to forever. It is possible to find your way out and to come out on top. But first, we must make an honest assessment of where we are financially.

About the Book
You Can Fix It takes a look at perspective. What can you do when
your life takes a wrong turn and it’s unavoidable? How do we deal with making
mistakes that experience would have shown us could have been handled in a
better way?
Although our problems come in
many shapes and sizes, a lot of times its financial adversity and pressures
that put us in a corner. In You Can Fix
It we view the possibilities of change. Its
possible to have a plan that changes every negative situation into a positive
one.
We have two approaches before us whenever we face trouble; either the problems get the best of us or we get the best of them. You can fix whatever you face if you believe that its possible and that you can fix it.
This book will encourage, inspire
and challenge you to do all you can with what you have when you can. And when
you do, you will win, if you refuse to give up!
