How to Save Money Here & There

The television blares all morning long about the impending economic doom our country is about to face.  MSNBC and their little Dow Jones ticker constantly jumps from negative 777 to a positive 638 points.  Who the fuck cares?  It's all doom and gloom.  What does this have to do with saving money?  Well cancel your Cable subscription, that will help out a whoole lot.

Say what?  You're addicted to TV?  That can't stop you from threatening to cancel your TV subscription.  For example, today I called and complained that my TV was spewing the crap of satan into my living room.  I'm concerned that my non-existant children are watching too much TV.  So naturally I want to cancel.  But the man on the other line is sorry I want to cancel my cable TV.  So he tells me about parental controls and gives me one free month of TV to "test" the tech nanny.  I figured I would give it a go, why not?  I'm not paying for it!

It was completely unexpected that I would get free TV for threatening to cancel my service.  Perhaps we all could do the same?  I'm going to try this more often.  Cheers, especially to the dude who gave me free TV.

Saving Money During Tough Times

This recession we're going through probably isn't as bad as the recession of the 30's.  We spend the the day staring at our screens watching the markets jump up and down.  Yet we don't feel like we're in a recession, yet.  Optimism has its place, but truth is the better medicine.  The truth is taht things are gonna get a lot worse before they get any better.  Markets will fall, government will fall, people will fall from grace and do some things they regret.  It's gonna get tough for all of us.  Gas prices are going to shoot up once November 4th rolls around.  The $3.50 gas prices right now can't stay that low forever, they're gonna go higher.  It seems as if it's a political gesture to control gas prices to make it appear as if everything is OK.  Keep going on America, nothing to see here.  Keep watching American Gladiator on 56 channels.  You are free to do what we tell you to!  You are free to do what we tell you to!  At least we're in for one hell of an awakening.  To be continued..
