Are Times Tough?

Our news outlets today paint a very nasty economy right now and finally "experts" are saying that we are in a recession. If we listen to all of this, we can gather that for a lot of people out there times are very tough. Now I agree that times are tough for a lot of people, yet I still see people going to the movies, eating out, going to sporting events, buying things that are not considered "needs", and spending money on things that might be considered a luxury in other parts of the World. One athlete just received over $100 million dollar contract to pitch in Major League Baseball. Others around the World would literally die, to be in our situation. Yes, times are tough, and America is going through a "rough patch", yet most are still not willing to change their lifestyle. I think some people are "forced" to change, by a loss of a job, etc....but most Americans are not "willing" to change. So if you are complaining right now about your situation, either change the way you do things or quit whining! Sometimes all of us need to look in the mirror and find the true cause of our issues! Happy Holidays!
