Wise Words from the Past
Every morning my father and I watch “The Rifleman” while eating breakfast. It’s an old black and white western about a rather good looking “sod buster” named Lucas McCane who is a single parent raising his son Mark. He’s known as the Rifleman because he can draw and shoot his rifle faster than anyone with a side-arm.
Anyhow, the episode this morning had some wise words in it that I’ve been advocated in the fiscal sense, and is especially more important now with all the crazy economy recession talk.
“There’s something to be said for poverty. It shows you what’s necessary and what ain’t” - Grandpa Fogerty
Most people are in dire financial straights because they choose to be, knowingly or not. It’s your spending and saving choices that determine how rough things are for you. Even someone who doesn’t make much money could be very satisfied with what they have, and what they can make use of. It’s all about Living below your means.
