el deficit: I know how you feel...Our Government has NOT been setting a good example for us -- Its like they have a credit card where the balance can be raised every month and the accountability continually gets pushed to the back burner.

We all have learned some painful lessons compliments of the boom period. Unfortunately, I had to take on some debt due to an investment in a young private software firm. Believe it or not, I have some credit card balances (again)...I have been debt free and will have to make big sacrifices to achieve that milestone again. The next year will be a time to rebuild finances - intelligently. I wish the government would do the same thing...here are some quotes to ponder...
