Get Rich Quick

Wow!! I was pleasantly surprised when someone e-mailed me to see if I would take a comment on my Blog. I was excited - someone might be able to relate to me or commiserate or have some interesting factoids to send - but no - nothing like that.

It was a computer telemarketer trying to capitalize on my misfortune. It was someone wanting me to do "paid surveys". I tried that gig early on in my brokeness - I got so much spam mail it wasn't funny. I hate spam mail!!!

How that I have voiced my displeasure at someone mucking up my blog - I thought I'd take time to update . . . . .

I've been without the car since last Monday. It's been a adjustment - both emotionally and intellectually. But luckily it's been month end at work and I've been distracted most of the days. I have to say that although my head tells me this was the right thing to do - but my heart is grieving for the first new car that I ever bought. The money saved, however, is going to make a large difference in our ability to get out of debt sooner. Again, I wait on the Lord - he will provide and I am sure that it will be in the way of something that is sustaining - not a scam or fly-by-night computer venture.

Don't get me wrong - I want to be out of debt in the worst way - but spending precious resources on the "hope" of a solution is never a wise move. Seriously, it's just plain stupid. The only ones who get rich on this type of venture are those masterminding the venture. If there is someone out there that feels different than I do - please feel free to try and convince me - I'm not an easy sell.

For those of you who might happen upon my Blog - may you take my words to heart and heed the warning - hang on to what cash you have - it could very well be all there is between you and the soup kitchen.
