Life Expenses

Whoever said life was easy was sadly mistaken. As craptastic as our economy is I haven't seen much improvement. The state of Nevada is in dire straits. Our education is ranked at the bottom of the list, the bottom!! They seem to be close to taking 6.9% from education, this baffles me. Our economy is horrible, we rank at or near the bottom as far as default home mortgages. People are being laid off and our state government decides to stop unemployment for the next 6 months. What exactly are people suppose to do when our unemployment rate is almost 13%?

It has been a rather trying weekend. I just hope it is over and doesn't bleed into my week. I had to take an asthmatic cat to the emergency hospital yesterday and that is very emotionally trying. Several hundred dollars later and an over night stay he is home and seemingly doing well. Money is a touchy subject for most and I totally understand. I have simplified my life financially. I have stopped all those monthly payments that seem to really add up. I no longer pay a monthly fee to play online games. While I did enjoy them a great deal for years my time no longer allows me such luxuries; school takes up most of my time. Actually it is a much better way to be spending my time, well at least it is more constructive!

This is the final necessary blog for my IT class. I am not sure if I will continue it or not. There is something to be said for typing out ones thoughts, even if no one reads them. It is rather cleansing. I can easily see how people can get addicted to posting.
