Different periods in my life have been governed by different theories.  Increasingly, these days, I am confounded by money.  I think it’s pretty dumb to spend a majority of my life working just to earn money, just to pay my bills,  just to die in debt anyway….  With the way our economy, health care, wars, etc, etc, blah blah blah, are going; what’s the point?

I’m increasingly becoming a fan of bartering, local food, less technology (god, did I really write that, cause I’m not sure I could survive without the interwebs…) & more physical activity.

Granted, I SAY I’m a fan of these things, but I’ll outright admit my hypocrisy, as it’s nearly impossible on my salary to buy local food, and I’m addicted to the internet… but that doesn’t mean I can’t believe in what is good and right.

Any way, back to bartering.  Wouldn’t it be fantastic if we could go to the store, or the doctor and come up with some way to barter for the goods & services we need???  I mean, imagine how this would effect your stress level?  MONEY IS THE BIGGEST STRESSOR IN MY LIFE…. How ’bout you?  What a waste of time & emotion I spend on money.
