Lottery...

So one winning ticket was sold for 640 million. 640 million. 640 million.
 I hope whoever won, will do some good with that money. I would have if I won it, but I guess ya gotta play to win. I bought tickets the last time it was 300 mil and didn't win so this time I opted out. That 12 bucks is gas in my Tahoe. If only the rest of the world could get that.
   One person wins all this money, pays the taxes on it and still teachers are losing their jobs and people are homeless. Our priorities are screwed up!! It drives me crazy when people say the don't have money and then you see them a week later carrying a Coach bag. ( I love Coach, I have no money, but I have a Coach bag.) See where I am going with this is... we all have the money until we don't. If we want something bad enough we find a way or try to at least. The rest of the time we manage because we have to. (GUILTY!!!)
    I have been on a Dave Ramsey journey for about 2 years now. Start and quit. Start and quit. I am trying to make a commitment to something that is foreign to me and really difficult to do. How nice would it be to win the Lotto. SUPER NICE!! But reality tells me that usually you don't win.
  Get yourself out of debt first, which is extremely hard to do. Then bless others with what you have after. Save and invest. Spend it because you actually have it to spend.
  I have a client that lived on 900 dollars one year. It may have been a long time ago, but it can be done. I watched my sister who completed Dave's program, write a check for a week in Aruba, and not even flinch.

I want to be that person, but before I can, I either have to win the Lottery or Change my weary ways.
 I wonder if I can give up Coach??? Maybe just for a while.In the mean time I am doing the best I can. Wanna get out of Debt?  Here is a link for you!www.daveramsey.com I've decided instead of saying," I don't have the money right now", that " I am on a diet!!"   Let's see how it works!

I'll let you know how I am doing in the mean time!!  Heather
