So Glad to be Broke

So I am watching the news anxiously awaiting the results of the $700 Billion bail out vote. The headline says it did not pass 185-197. As a result, the Dow Jones dropped 600 points. Now I am not “financial market”-ly literate so if you need me to explain to you this situation, I can’t. But what I can tell you is the sh*t has hit the fan. Credit is frozen, money is so tight, and people, blue collar and white collar alike are panicking. I am worried about the state of this country but also a bit relieved. I am relieved because I am broke. I own no property, no stock, and no real investments. For years I had been kicking myself for not setting up my 401-k, not creating a stock portfolio, not owning real estate. I kept saying, when the time is right I will step my game up. GOD BLESS AMERICA. Its greed has put me and many of my colleagues in a position to take advantage of this market while it is on its knees. Yes a few of my wiser friends have been affected by this mess but we are all young enough and motivated enough to make it out. Now is the time people to learn the system. Get your money together and take advantage. Start working on repairing your credit now while it is unavailable. Start investigating what the real estate market will look like after this mess and see how you can capitalize on it. Buy these stocks while they are low. The market fluctuates. What goes down will eventually go back up. We are at the brink of having a black president. This is the time. Our window of opportunity is available, but be assure it will only be open for a short time. If you were down and depressed about being broke, don’t be. Create a plan of action to capitalize in the future. On Sunday, my pastor spoke of discrimination. He mentioned that discrimination ceases when the playing field is even. If you are hanging off a cliff, you don’t care what color, sexual orientation or religion the person is that is helping you. You accept the help. Well right now, black, brown, white, steel worker, banker, teacher, gay, straight, 20 something's, 50 something’s, all of us alike are struggling together. BROKE PEOPLE EVERYWHERE, UNITE AS ONE AND MAKE IT HAPPEN!!

WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!!
