If you was to walk any given town, in America, and ask anyone, “If you could have anything what would it be?” The answer is a no brainier, especially in todays economy, They want more of the green stuff.

The almighty dollar, this is something that is sought after even more then my Grandma’s famous chocolate chip cookies. So we now ask ourself, “How the Hell do we make more money with next to no money, if any money at all, to start with?”

We then pass blame on to others, for our misfortune. “The Government don’t care, they just fill their pockets full and still want more!” We say. Then we turn blame on the rich oil tycoons that every year make record profits, while more and more middle class America is quickly going towards bankruptcy, at a staggering rate. If all else blame fails then we use that trump card we have hidden in our back pockets, we cry, “If there was a God, how could he do this to us?” If I had a penny for every time someone used that one, I would not need money because I would make the richest of the richest people look like mere pheasants begging for scraps.

Again we look for answers on how we can make more money? We see millions of money making schemes both on line and on television that make huge amounts of money, so why can’t we do it? What is it that those people, that are by far better off then we are, have that we don’t? Is it luck, they started out with a silver spoon already, they was just in the right place at the right time? We perhaps shall never know, but the one thing we do know is we want some of what they have, MONEY!

So now we have realized we need a drastic change in our life. This is the first step. We must first not just want change, but we must be willing to make it happen. This is by far much harder then we imagine it to be. We as humans are somewhat lazy and we want things to come to us. We don’t want to actually work for something. Again, if I had a dime for every time I set on my big fat ass and knew something needed to be done, yet did nothing to change this. The thing I wanted was still untouched, until that moment I got up and did something to change the situation.

I procrastinated and passed blame just like most, yet still no change. Others around me was getting ahead in life yet there I set, Mr. Couch potato, in the same predicament as the day before. Then one day it happened, my world came crashing down. Depression set in and I was starting to loose all hope. I don’t know what happened after that, I was in a daze for many weeks. I did not care about anything. I just wanted to die, but, I could not even accomplish this. What a complete and total looser I had become.
