Thoughts

Every day some say it's getting better, and others say it's getting worse.  One news report claims that the economy is on the rise while another claims that things are not expected to get better for 3-5 years.  I look at the news and Congress and Wall Street are all over the place- I'm not sure what they are thinking (or even if they are thinking!).

It really makes me stop and wonder what life is going to be like for us for the next several years.  As I am nearing the end of my 20s, I would have hoped that my career would finally be taking off in the right direction; unfortunately, everything is going up except my salary.  Since 2007, rent has gone up, gasoline has doubled, and energy, insurance, internet, etc., all those bills are up, but my paycheck is stagnant.

I'm finding that it is difficult to save anything, especially with all of the uncertainty in the economy.  Rather than dispair on any of this, though, I did find that there is a fantastic option!  More on this later.
