Maybe Its Me ?

We all have problems, I know I do at times. With my problems, I think
that no one has ever been thru what I go thru. But I'm wrong. There
isn't a problem that no has ever been thru before. Th3e biggest problems
of the owrld today boiled doen to one common thing. MONEY !!!

Right now the way things are, we all worry about money. Some more than
others. Those others are the ones that havewaaay too much monry,
millionaires, billionares. If they were to loose all their money, like
some have, they would be trated just like any day regular folks. But the
never loose it all like they claim they do.

My first take on earning my own money started when I was young, I had a
Sunday paper route. Papers on Sunday were 30 cents, and I would start
with a dollar. At the end of my route, I would have about 15 or 20
dollars. Not bad. I was doing so good, that I had a friend help me out
during the winter time. I went into the US Army, and learned a
completely different thing about money.

In the Army, you got paid, you spent it and you waited until you go paid
again. That was how it was. No one told me to save a cent, but I did.
Wheni got out of the Army, I had to get a job. Had plenty of them, and
one of them was working for The State of NY. Still the concept of money
2was still a little flakey to me. Still, you earn itm, you spent it, and
then you wait for the next payday. But then crdeit cards came into
play.

Again, maybe its me. Ok, you have a job and you make x amount every
year. Xyz company, which has crdeit cards sends you an application cause
they seem to think that you may and have to have one. With xyz's credit
card, they will front you money on any purchases and cash withdrawals.
But, but the intrest will be slightly higher than you would normally
expect to pay. But, they are the ones who contaccted you first, and sent
you a letter asking you to fill out one of their applications. Now don't
you feel proud? Yeah right. This is what happened to me in the 80's. And
the strange thing is, people are still experiencing it.

I learned one thing back then and it stays with me to this day. After a
while, I have no more control over it. So what is 'it' you may ask? For
a while I was in control, then somewhere along the way I 'gave' up
control. To this day I don't have bad credit. I just have NO credit
what's so ever. People say that that not posssible, but it is. I don't
even fall on the radar aany more. Now mind you about 8 years ago, it was
saying that I had a low credit score. Its weird.

Soon, very soon paper monry and coins will no longer exsist. Everything
will be digital, its almost that way now.
