What horrible stationary to give to a kid
Amen.
Is that an attached garage?
I find it inspiring. This kid gets what America is about!
god bless two-car garages.
Keeping up with the Joneses has caused me more trouble than I had ever imagined which had left me in a desperate need of a credit repair. As an American, I felt the same undeniable pressure many other Americans undergo to live the “American Dream”. Much like myself, many people have become prisoners in their understanding of the American Dream – fancy cars, big houses, and anything expensive. Instead of happiness, guilt and misery surrounds and lingers in their hearts and minds, eventually evolving into a huge burden emotionally and financially. I, too, had fallen prisoner to the popular idea of this so-called American Dream. Through my personal experience, I know material goods will not sustain the long-term happiness I desire. We all need to take the time to sit down to evaluate what really makes us happy. Spending time with the kids, getting outdoors, and spend quality time with your spouse are some of the simplest things in life that makes us happiest. The best part of it all is it doesn’t cost a dime. I have to admit, I do enjoy being admired for the fancy things I do have. What’s sad is that behind all of the nice things I have lies a chilling monster: my credit card debt. Keeping up with the Joneses has brought me nothing but trouble. It’s time I take responsibility for my actions and start living the true American Dream. I am still on the road to credit repair, but I know I’ll get there soon. With the budgeting and smart spending techniques I’m becoming accustomed to, I know it’s just a matter of time.
