Blog, Need, School

I'm pretty excited. I just got back from the WebMasterWorld Conference 2005 in New Orleans today. I got a whole bunch of ideas on what to do with this blog.

There are a whole bunch of things that need to be said about where people are heading with their current financial spending habits. I think that Canadians and Americans are on a pretty slippy land mass (financially) that is sitting on a huge earthquake fault! More and more spending happens, and people are digging themselves into the ground.

I've been talking about this stuff since I was in high school. I've been talking about this stuff since 1992 when i was a financial analyst in Toronto. In 1992 the debt balloon scared the crap out of me. I was in awe at how much debt people were in.

People are stressed out. Here's the vicious circle... We buy "stuff" to make out lives easier. Then we work really hard to pay for the stuff that makes our lives easier. I can't say it any better than that.

The best way for a country to lose control of itself is to be in huge debt and then start owing other people and countries. Right now we're pretty wealthy countries in North America. We're also in the cross hairs of financial/debt disaster.

So... People... I am urging you to take a look at your lifestyle. If you're working in a vicious circle of "quality of life" please take a look at what you're doing. Maybe you should find the real meaning of quality of life.

To put it in perspective: "In the beginning, when God created Adam and Eve, people didn't need cell phones, computers, wide screen tv's, and all of the modern gadgets that make life so much easier."

For the most part, I practice what I preach. I am putting these thoughts into even more of my own future plans.

What do you think?
