People need to de program W A N T I N G!
That means, step away from the TV... it is a devise made to serve ONE purpose... to create NEED.
Sponsors are what the TV is about, so you can de program the whole ‘I WANT’ thing by just tuning it out.... it is worlds better to live without all that VISUAL and MATERIAL racket (that is TV) in your life ... . The worst possible thing adults can do is to plant their kid in front of the TV..the kid never has a chance. So, instead of using the TV for a babysitter, spend some quality time with your kid and he will be better off, and so will you.
You are exactly right.They didn’t see that Mom and Dad started out in a “starter” home that was probably less than 1200sf and need work.Most feel that is beneath them.It is no wonder so many will end up bankrupt.
