Obamacare Indepe.....Oh, wait.

This past week has made me laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh some more. I couldn't resist to share. Earlier this week, Nancy Pelosi said that we could celebrate Health Independence with her on the 4th of July.

Then I woke up and saw the news where Obamacare has been DELAYED.

*Insert chirping voice* Denied.

I know that we all make mistakes as humans, but I mean, come ON! What on earth was Pelosi thinking saying that in the first place?!? Oh, wait. She wasn't. She hardly ever thinks before she speaks. And for the record, the last time I checked, 4th of July marks INDEPENDANCE DAY for the United States! The victory and liberty from suppressing Britain. It never has stood for anything else for the American people, and it never should. I will not now or ever celebrate a healthcare regime that has been delayed (even though it is supposed to be something AMAZING---yeah, right...). So, on the 4th, I want to thank all of those that are willing to lay down their life, leave their families, go into unknown, dangerous territory for my freedom. I want to celebrate the military and all that they've done-from 1776 until 2013- thank you.

Thank you to all that serve!

 

 

Another thing: Why on earth would a leader cancel celebrations for those fighting for their freedom? Fighting so that they may stay in the position that they are in at the moment. Why cancel the celebrations and little break of those that fight in order that one can go to Africa on a $100,000,000 trip?

 

This is Harder Than I Thought

Not spending money is HARD. Really HARD.

I never realized exactly how addicted I truly was. I even looked at my bank account online and where exactly my money was going. Talk about a tough pill to swallow. When I don't want to face reality, I don't. I am extremely talented and ignoring reality, and if I ignore it, it's not there, right? No problem. Now, it's time to get over that fear of reality. I'm diving in, I'm going deep. There's a plan for once. Face it. Get it done.

I always say I believe in personal responsibility(because I do). Now, it's time to stand up and take responsibility for my spending, and stop acting like the government.

I have cut back....quite a bit. I still live and have fun with friends. I don't follow the guidelines of the previous link religiously. I made my own rules that work for me in my life right now-and that's truly the only way one can live. What works for me may not work for you. And what works for you most likely won't work for me. It takes a moment to sit back, concentrate, and realize what is going to work. What are your priorities? What can you cut for right now? (It doesn't have to be forever).

It is hard, really hard. But I'm already seeing pay off and I've not been doing this in a super long time frame.
