This post is coming from my heart, because I’ve seen some bad things happen to people I know and love — people who believed in job security and what used to be “the plan” for financial success:
Finish school
Get a job with a reliable company
Stay there for years and years
Retire with a pension that will carry you comfortably through retirement
But the plan didn’t work. There is no job security.
Even if you think you have job security these days, what happens when you retire?
I saw people who did everything “right” lose their retirement savings
when the economy took a downturn. The medical benefits they counted on
were cut. I saw “retired” people having to look for part-time jobs to
supplement their Social Security. They can’t enjoy their retirement.
Hell, they can’t even eat what they want because there’s not enough
money for food, gas, clothes, property taxes, etc.
I’m not going to let that happen to me, and I don’t want to see it happen to you, either.
Let’s create our own job security.

I'm a 70's musical child, and I'm so very glad for that. I grew up listening to the 60's music,
with groups like, Cream, Tommy James & The Shondells, The Rolling
Stones, and in my opinion the best musical group of all time....The
Beatles. As a matter of fact I really thought that my Aunt Francine was
going to marry Paul McCartney. I loved visiting my Grandmother in the
Bronx, because I would hang out with my Aunt Jackie (Francine's sister)
and play Beatles 45's, singing, dancing and thinking how Wonderful Rock and Roll
was! We would walk to the corner five and dime and buy packs of Beatles
cards....the ones with the gum. I was hypnotized by the music. It was a
good time to be alive!
Music is the kind of thing that can not be hidden. Rock and Roll could not be stopped.
As I grew up, so did Rock and Roll.
I grew up listening to songs like "I wanna hold your hand", "My Girl",
and "Twist and Shout" and by the time I was in my early teens the
message changed, it was a little harder and the lyrics were a little
grittier. My ears tingled to tunes like: Let it be by the Beatles, Stairway to Heaven, by Led Zepplin, American Woman by The Guess Who, And the Jackson five were all over the air waves. I must admit that I thought that Michael Jackson was the coolest kid ever!
But
the 70's also left me feeling abandoned. I was listening to the radio,
and heard an awful news cast that the Beatles were breaking up! I felt
betrayed! I couldn't get over the fact that there would be no more
Beatles music.....ever.......UNTIL NOW!
ROCK And ROLL LIVES AGAIN!
Thanks to "Soundhog" who put this video up on YouTube. The combination of Helter Skelter and Whole Lotta Love was brilliant! VERY COOL SONG!
But I regress.....The rest of the 70's brought some of the best music
of all time......... from Solo releases of the former Beatles, to Elton
John, to Lynyrd Skynyrd, to Eric Clapton, to Peter Gabriel...way too
many to name here, although I could! The 80's also brought some pretty
interesting music like The Wall, by Pink Floyd (one of my favorites),
Blondie, The Cars, The Police etc. The 90's were a little disappointing,
but there was Jon Bon jovi, and Barenaked Ladies. Bottom line here is
that Rock and Roll still lives on!
I want to thank the powers that be for music, especially Rock and Roll!
Music
is the best thing that Humankind has invented. I live my life around
music. I play it on my cell phone, which has around 800 songs on the
micro SD card, my work trucks are fashioned with players that not only
play MP3 disc's but also play thumb drives which carry days worth of
music EACH! My home is wired for music also. My stereo reaches out to
speakers in the Living room (surround), two bathrooms, Master Bedroom,
Dining room, and Family room.
In closing, I can only say that without music, and especially Rock and Roll the world would be an unbearable place to live.....I'm gonna take a shower now, and Rock out!.....I'm Just Sayin!
The Debt Limit is in the news pretty much every day.
I
promised myself that 2013 would be the year for me to stop watching the
news so much, stay positive and not worry about anything, especially
from our government. I'm a registered Republican, but I now consider
myself an Independent. I will be changing my affiliation one day this
year. For the last eleven years I have taken more than an interest in
what goes on within our government. I had become disheartened by the
fact that our representatives no longer represent. It seems if you are a
special interest group with lots of money, THEN your voice will be
heard.
I worried mostly because I was concerned about my
children's future in this country. Will they be safe from outside
extremist groups? Will they be able to get a job? Will they be taxed so
highly because of the fact that our government can't control the Debt Limit?
Is our government honest with its people? These and many more questions
ran through my head just about every day. I joined "groups" for illegal
immigration, groups that wanted our politicians held accountable for
their actions. I sent faxes, made phone calls, wrote emails and letters.
I was very concerned all the time. So much so, that it began to become
part of who I was. I would have conversations with total strangers about
how the policies of our government was putting us all at risk. I was
consumed!
Now again, the Debt Limit is being thrown in our faces.
It
really makes me wonder if the powers that be are really intelligent
enough to control the future of our country, or are they like a spoiled
college student who was given Daddy's credit card. I'm guessing the
latter. We as Citizens of the greatest country on Earth, must see the
problem for what it is. We need to take our government's problems, and
bring it down to something we can relate to.
I was watching a funny video about our Debt Limit yesterday.
As seen from this light-hearted spoof about the Debt Limit,
this
man (our government) has no clue as to the responsibility that he
should be practicing. So what does he do? He mortgages his child's
future without hesitation or regret. The real situation is that our
government needs to take more responsibility as to their mindless
spending. No matter what your political affiliation is, you should be
very concerned about the the Debt Limit, because it's your children's future that's at risk......and I have to say, I have turned off the news, and the weather tomorrow is gonna be mid 20's.....I'm Just Sayin.
A now rich Australian man made an extraordinary discovery yesterday!
He
found an "incredibly rare" 12-pound gold nugget. It was hiding under
only 23 inches of dirt. The total price for such a find?....$300,000,
and maybe even more than that because of the rarity of the find. He
found it in a place where hundreds searched before, using a Minelab GPX-5000, a state-of-the-art metal detector.
Looks like Daffy Duck to me! or an alien Oscar!
The
man who wants to stay anonymous (can you blame him....I would too!)
says at first I thought it was the hood of a car! Cordell Kent, owner of
The Mining Exchange Gold Shop said in an interview:
"He
doesn't want anyone to know his bit of ground. There are only four
people who know where he found it -- he and his wife and me and my wife.
And he's hoping the one he found this week is a small piece and that
there are bigger ones still out there."
The man said he will use the money to pay off bills. Yeah, that's good! Now he's a rich guy!
But is it gold, or money that makes you rich? Sure wealth IS
nice, and I wouldn't complain one bit if I was digging in my back yard
and like Jed Clampett I struck that black gold or yellow gold, even a
gold watch would be nice. But what I've learned through my years of
searching for my nugget (gold) is that money is nice of course, but my
wealth is in my content for life. My family (wife and four children)
make me rich beyond anything that money could buy!
To
me, it's not the money that I want really, it's the things that I could
have if money was not an issue. Obviously I would pay off my house, I
would have no bills, go wherever I wanted, whenever I wanted. I'd go to
Disney World for a weekend trip. These things and more are most
definitely in my future, I had a dream about it, I feel it, I know it. I
know it because I've found my golden nugget.
If you believe in Miracles, then follow me to the Golden Nugget, and let's get rich together!
The Golden Nugget I speak of is the Empower Network. It's an unusual form of internet marketing where you can really make it rich by blogging, and selling blogs! Click here

It's real, and I'll show you how to find your own golden nugget and make it rich!....I'm Just Sayin.
This stagnant economy is hurting a lot of people, but This Too Shall Pass!
I talked to a friend of mine today who had a really long streak of bad luck. He had asked me to give him an estimate
on his home which was damaged during hurricane Sandy. His roof was
almost entirely ripped off, and because of this there was some fairly
extensive water damage on his ceilings and walls. He seemed really down,
and that's just not like him.
During our conversation I came to
find out that he had recently dissolved his HVAC business (heating and
air conditioning) because of an unscrupulous builder had decided to
bankrupt his current company with no warning to the contractors that
were working on his 8,000 sq. ft. house. His partner in his business who
was his best friend had become distant, to say the least. He was living
on unemployment, and that money was just not enough to cover his bills.
And to top it all off his pride and joy, a 2005 Ford F250 was totaled
by a drunk driver while parked in his driveway. WOW.....that was a lot
to take in! My heart ached for him, and I wanted to grab him and tell
him that this too shall pass and all will be okay.
My life has been filled with "this too shall pass" moments.
And
because of my experiences, I started to tell him of some of the things
in my life that seemed to be so desperate that I didn't think I would
walk away unscathed. I explained to him that I just keep thinking
positive thoughts, and not let that certain situation get me down. And I
believe that by thinking positive I've noticed about not just my life,
but others is that, just when it seems that everything is going wrong,
something amazing happens. The dreaded situation works itself out, and
sometimes I'm so much better off for it!
Now here is the AMAZING
thing that happened to my friend. As he was asking me to keep the price
down, so he could "maybe" keep some of the insurance money to live on,
his cell phone rang. He almost didn't answer it because he didn't want
to be rude but I insisted that it was okay. That phone call was for a
job interview that he was waiting for, but figured that he wouldn't get
because it was such a really big company and there were tons of
applicants for that same position. This was his "This too shall pass" moment.
Here is a video by OK Go.... titled This Too Shall Pass!
I love this video, not only because how it was made, which is incredible in itself, but just the words "this too shall pass" is a phrase that is close to my heart!
So
in closing: If things in your life aren't going just right, whether you
lost your job, or crashed your car, or just down on your luck. My
advise to you is to STAY POSITIVE, because all will work itself out, and all you have to remind yourself is that "This too shall pass"!!....I'm just sayin
Today, it's a cold
and rainy day in January, and that in itself is to be expected. I find
that this kind of weather just makes me feel like crap. I was out on one
of my jobs this morning meeting with a customer and the cold rain just
went right through me. I Own a Construction Business (D and J Construction), and our current job is outside, we were forced to take a day off.
I
came back to my office, and figured that I would get some estimates
out. So, as usual, whilst on my computer I started by opening up my
proposal software.....got "some" work done....time to check my email....Hmmmm, wonder what facebook is up to this morning....and finally on YouTube......Thank God for tabs!
This was a good thing, because I got that much needed laugh.
While
browsing videos, I find it amazing how I start off with a video about
the new chip for smart phones to make them 3D (I love Technology) and
end up watching a video about The NFL "A Bad Lip Reading" I'm so glad
that I did see it because I laughed my A## off! Actually if football was
like this I would be a fan for sure!! Check it out:
Now that was the laugh I was looking for!
This video made me laugh
out loud. I watched it three times, because as you watch you will swear
that these guys are actually saying this stuff! Here is what a few of
the comments look like.
"This was so good, I actually
thought the players, refs, and coach's were actually saying this...then I
re-read the title and all that". And: "An orange peanut!?" And:“I brought you a potion and it’s gonna work great cause it’s gonna make you run and you brought your potion, right?”
I LOVE to laugh. For me it's the cure all. Our house is usually filled with laughter, and I notice that people that do laugh a lot, are more comfortable with themselves and others. Other people like to be around them. It's a natural thing.
People like to surround themselves with laughter and success.
Now
if your a "happy" person who enjoys a laugh or two a day, then that's
Wonderful! I think a person with that kind of mindset will attract
success also. I personally have many success stories. From my marriage,
to my home, to my awesome children, to my construction business, and
finally to my latest soon to be "the best" success story of my life! I
have joined the Empower Network, and I see a really incredible future ahead of me. If you want to know more about how to join us, Click Here!
In closing.....Laugh, Love, and spread the wealth of your own good fortune to others....I'm Just Sayin.
Even if you think you have job security these days, what happens when you retire?
