Gas Prices are too high and jobs aren't reliable...

Last month Wayne lost his job leaving me with the only income in our home. Wayne lost his job because the commute to and from work was too costly. I have to give it to Wayne he held onto that job for as long as he could. My job on the other end I am holding on by a string. Soon my job will be eliminating an entire shift which unfortunately is the shift I work. I have tried searching for jobs online and offline with no luck.

Then one day Wayne went to the gas station complaining about the $3.00 gas prices (seeing that he only had $20.00 to get me to and from work for the rest of the week) He started complaining out loud when a guy he knew pulled up smiling. Yelling, "the gas prices aren't high you just can't afford um." At first Wayne said he was upset but then he said he had to think about it. He's right! If I had money I wouldn't think about the gas prices or the job market. I'd probably find something else to be mad at. This brings me to think. I keep hearing people talk about profits over wages, I just never knew how to get into it. So Wayne and I said, "We’ve got to figure it out." So we started talking to our friend and he showed us a few things online. Some of the stuff that we were shown didn't seem like it would work out to well. So we tried a few and some worked and some didn't. We're still not mega rich, but at least we're paying bills with the internet ideas.

We'll keep at it since it is a big help, seeing that my days at the plant are numbered. We're constantly researching for more. One that we really particularly like is www.taketimeouttoday.com . At first, when we were shown this particular program we thought that it was weird. I know that I've seen the one guy on Oprah and you know how I feel about Oprah :). So that was enough for me to be interested. Wayne had heard from a guy at his job about EFT, so we both agreed and purchased the product.

So let me tell you this, not only has our income increased but other deep rooted emotional issues surfaced. I really don't want to get into all of this right now because we are still in the beginning stages but one thing is for sure our income has increased and we can afford gas prices.
