WHY I AM BETTER OFF NOW THAN 4 YEARS AGO

Are you better off now than you were 4 years ago is the question that has come up the most and I personally can say YES, I am, and here is why" How about you?

The day after Obama was elected I went and purchased my first pistol and enrolled in a class to get my conceal carry.

I bought myself a little compressor and taught myself how to blow out my sprinklers and fired the company I had been using for 9 years because of their Obama stickers on their vehicles. I charged 5 of my neighbors $15 each to blow out their sprinklers who also used the same landscaping company.

I stopped (along with my friends) going to our favorite Mexican restaurant because of their open support for Obama. That restaurant that was there for 7 years went out of business last year.

Before 2008 I was a lock and step republican and I was so confused over the last election because of the Iraq war and the economy. I educated myself more and I now realize that I liked Bush because he is a social conservative but I do not like that he is NOT fiscally conservative.

I no longer talk politics at work or debate with anyone who classifies all republicans as evil or hating poor people. All politicians are corrupt so some level. The system is broken and there are too may people who feel entitled to my money.

I paid off all my credit card debt and have lived debt free for that last 3 years.

Best of all..... I met a man in my conceal carry class and we were married 7/16/10. We bought some property in the mountains for cash instead of having a big wedding. and I rent my house out for a profit. We now have 3 rental properties together!!! We ride our ATV's have lots of guns and love the outdoors and live a very quiet life debt free and help needy families in our church when we can.

I pray Obama is not re-elected but if he is, I know I'll be ok because we live within our means and work hard.

And... by the way, I no longer have to blow out my own sprinklers!

LOL. We have liberal friends too and one owes us money because she can’t manage her money. She called us from Arby’s in tears because she couldn’t pay her mortgage but she always has money for cigarettes and she doesn’t like to cook so she buys them fast food every day.

I’ve offered her a job for almost double then she makes now but she never has time to schedule an interview. She is the typical liberal talking head. Unwilling to take personal responsibility for her financial choices and still blames Bush for her money problems.

Amazing, isn’t it? I am so BLESSED to have been born into a working class family, one that thought being in debt was SHAMEFUL.

An odd concept to today’s families.

Living the good Life is the best revenge, Darlin’! Keep fightin’ the good fight! :)
