2nd Day on the Job!

All right! I made a little more money today all while I was at work earning a living. You really can't knock the internet. Here I am writing articles on Hub Pages and earning residuals all the while I am sleeping, eating, etc. Not a bad way to go.

So far I am in the pee wee leagues, but each month is better than the last. Not too hard considering this is only my second month, but on a same numbers of days comparison, things are still looking better.

Next topic of the day.

Survival in these changing times. For those who are under 40, you have never experienced an actual economic slowdown. This is due in part to Ronald Reagan and the Lafer Curve. Danger: school knowledge! What President Reagan said was that if we reduced the amount of taxes that were being sought by the Federal Govenment, we would have a greater level of economic activity and thus higher tax revenues. He used the Lafer Curve to demonstrate this. This ended up creating nearly 40 years of upward trending economic growth and due to this, we have forgotten how to live with less.

So, what can we expect the next decade or so? If you have studied the 70's at all, it was a time of stagnant growth and higher interest rates. That is what we are beginning to see all across the nation, rows of empty houses and emptier stores. Anyone who wishes to grow and achieve some sort of economic independance will need to breakfree of the chains of low wages.

Tomorrow... how to do that!
