As long as everyone is proactive paying off their debts, money circulates. Bailouts haven’t done much of anything other than pay off some debts, mostly that of the big folks. However, when the positive news emerges and “green shoots” of optimism takes hold, gushing new purchases by the little people will surge and lift all boats … and on off we go to the races we go again.

Besides shopping for the lowest prices and saving money buying from discount sources such as when you need cheap personal checks that you can save fifty perscent on when you buy online, property taxes are a sore spot.

Poposals to slow property-tax increases have gained considerable support, but some observers warn that at least one aspect could trigger unintended consequences. Because property values are declining, that freeze is likely to have little impact. But any help is better than none, and any tax decrease is better than a tax increase.

Naturally, you don't exempt businesses from the freeze, it makes it difficult for economic development. Any proposals for property tax cuts help people redirect their money away from government and encourage spending on other necessities that only a free market can provide.

Saving money by ordering direct adds up. Imagine if you could save 50% on every purchase you made in life by ordering direct. That possibility may not hold water in daily life, but when it comes to ordering personal bank checks that you may be running low on, it certainly is.

Dealing direct with commercial bank check printers has benefits beyond just price. You get a larger selection of all the ware they produce and get fast service. Since you are dealing direct there are no service delays and you see your order clearly online. No surprises.

The Law of the Garbage Truck

One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport. We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was really friendly.

So I asked, "Why did you just do that? This guy almost caused an accident and sent us to the hospital!" This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call, "The Law of the Garbage Truck."

He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, full of
disappointment and rage. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on you. Don't take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don't pick up their garbage and spread it to other people in your life, whether at work, at home, or to people that you don't even know on the streets.

Always remember that good people do not let garbage trucks take over their day. Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so…..

"Love the people who treat you right and forgive the ones who don't."

A blind man enters a Ladies Bar by mistake. He finds his way to a bar-stool and orders a drink.
After sitting there for awhile, he yells to the bartender, "Hey, you wanna' hear a blonde joke?"

The bar immediately falls absolutely quiet. In a very deep, husky voice, the woman next to him says, "Before you tell that joke, sir, I think it is just fair - giving that you are blind - that you should know five things:

1 - The bartender is a blonde girl.
2 - The bouncer is a blonde girl.
3 - I'm a 6 feet tall, 160 lb. blonde woman with a black belt in karate.
4 - The woman sitting next to me is blonde and is a professional weight-lifter.
5 - The lady to your right is a blonde and is a professional wrestler.

Now think about it seriously, mister. Do you still wanna' tell that joke?"

The blind man thinks for a second, shakes his head, and declares, "Nah, not if I'm gonna' have to explain it five times."
