How do you keep your sanity when the world seems to be crashing around us?
Seniors especially need something to boost their morale and keep them in the game.
Why you say just seniors? It is easy, seniors have worked their whole life, expecting to be able to relax in their golden years????
Then along comes Governor Snidely who says lets help business by taxing the senior pensions.
You say it's only 4.35 % and it should not be a big deal? yeah but the price of gas is now $4. per gallon, and soon to be $5 per gallon, food has gone up, the taxes on their paid for small homes are still high, and they don't get a cost of living allowance.
If a senior owns their own home, in downriver, they are paying minimum $500 per month in real estate taxes, $250 - $300 for car registration, and another $250 per month on car insurance, probably $250 per month medical premiums.
Basically you have $1000, per month going out to taxes and insurance? what about the gas and groceries and utility bills??
How much of a seniors pension do you think they get to spend on fun sanity building items???
Not much, so what needs to be done?
Well first vote the idiots that are trying to tax us out of office, second, find an outlet that relieves stress and build self confidence.
I started entering 5 k races, now I am up to my first 13.1 half marathon? So what you say? I say yeah, it gives me a goal, makes me feel good to accomplish something, and it is improving my health.
All this is designed to keep me sane and help me get through the troubled economy that we can do nothing to prevent.
This won't work for all, but the point is to find something you feel passionate about, bowling, golf ( wait no fun money) Crocheting, knitting, walking, volunteering etc.
Get off the couch and run with the big dogs.
take care check back later
