I mean, I get it. Times are tough. I understand. I've cut back spending. I'm trying to save money for the holidays. I'm searching the couch cushions for loose change.
But for two guys in Beaumont, it's seriously bottom-of-the-barrel time: they robbed a Family Dollar Store last night, making off with all the cash in one of the registers. No word on how much they got away with, but I'm guessing it was about $107 all in one's.
Now, if you log on to Bloomberg, Yahoo Finance, or any other such site, you'll notice they're all stopping shy of just putting up a picture of a crazy dude wearing nothing but a sign that says "The End is Near!"
But the end isn't near folks.
Are we in a massive financial pickle? Yes. Should we be running up our credit cards when we can't afford to pay them off? No. Even though I "immediately qualified for a spectacular low interest loan," should I have put a down payment on that condo on the moon? Probably not the best investment.
The holidays might be lean this year, but we'll all weather this fiscal storm, and should try to do so without robbing ONE OF THE ONLY STORES THAT SELLS STUFF WE CAN AFFORD!
I'm just saying...

I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to
say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.

Don't be dissing the Family Dollar! That's MY stomping grounds! I can buy all the cleaning supplies I need there and bought all my hurricane pantry foods there, it's easy to park,and get in and out the door. It's cheaper than Walmart, a cleaner store and the staff know their customers. Every senior citizen in this town shops ther, I betcha!
