Re: No retirement

["Carl Galgano" <cgalgano@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Don:
You are so true.  Most people, no matter what their income level, seem to
live above their means.... make a little more, spend a whole lot more.  It
is all based on everyone who things they have to have everything in life.
Last time I looked, life is a series of choices, some bad, some easy, but in
the end all those choices will add up to get you.  I know too many people
who are one paycheck away from disaster, living well beyond what they make
and using credit cards like the government uses deficit spending.  Sooner or
later, it will catch up to you.
