Save that Penny

Americans need to save money. This is an old custom has lost it's way in our society. My grandparents were of the Depression Era and they stressed always save your money. Nowdays whatever disposable income is seen as waste and used to purchase bigger houses, bigger cars that need more gas but you can afford cause hoarding money is a sin? So you are well off, have money in the bank, get taxed on it, have disposable income and dispose of it but hey wait a minute. Now why not try this radical socialist idea: why not save that disposable income for a rainy day, not just your rainy day maybe your cousin's or your sibs or your children's or your best friend's.

Not advocating giving all your money to everyone you know at the drop of a hat but ...The medical industry in this country is pricey, not many have good insurance, I am sure you have a family member who is not completely covered, why not save that money you'd spend on a new bloated couch for relative x when tragedy or financial ruin strike. If more Americans practiced a moderate and diluted form of socialism in their own families, their own circles, their OWN FAMILIES (their own nuclear society) in their own world instead of handing Corpoarate Joe their cash maybe, just maybe a few more people would be a bit better off. You give to charity. Great, I hope when you see relative x or best friend of 30 years drowning in worry that you try and find a way to help them too.

It is important to care for those around you when you can ...once again, it sticks it to the man. I do know of one family that does this and they are my heroes. They are truly beautiful souls with the way they generously help each other out so they can all advance.
