Bruce’s Wealth Blog

As we look at stock portfolios, job losses, and our current economy, it is easy to feel sorry for ourselves.  But tomorrow is Thanksgiving.  And, on Thanksgiving we should be counting our blessings instead of the things that are wrong.

If you live in our country during this harsh economic time, regardless of your income level, you are still wealthier than 90% of the rest of the world.  I learned this year that in Cuba, income is limited to about $20.00 per month.  Just try living on $20.00 per month.  After you tried it, you can start counting your blessings.  The folks at the intersections of our country with cardboard signs make more than that in a single day.

If you wanted John McCain to win the election, you may be down in the dumps.  But since you live in America, you can now enjoy the privilege of complaining about Obama for the next four years without fear of death or being thrown in jail.  You may also be thankful that congressional elections are only two years away.

Maybe this is the year you planned to quit your job, but you couldn’t.  Guess what.  Like it or not, you still have a job that is paying most of your bills and is probably providing you with insurance.

Warning – Shameless Plug – Maybe you spent $20,000.00, or $30,000.00, or $40,000.00, or even more on a guru’s course and found the reality did not live up to the promise.  But as luck would have it, you can still join my Inner Circle for only $19.97 per month.  You could spend the rest of your life as a member and still not spend the big bucks you are paying to other "gurus."  Imagine how much education you could get from me during that time.  End Of Shameless Plug

Regardless of where you are and your perspective, there are things to be thankful for.  So, for this Thanksgiving spend some time counting your blessings.  Fill your belly full.  Then, have a wonderful nap!

Take care and Happy Thanksgiving.
