TRENDING: GOPer calls Obama administration ‘corrupt’ – CNN Political Ticker - CNN.com Blogs

TRENDING: GOPer calls Obama administration ‘corrupt’ – CNN Political Ticker - CNN.com Blogs

I am a Conservative, I did not vote for the current president, however if our new congress waste the next two years telling us how bad the Obama administration has been it will be a waste of our tax paying dollars and the reason for the change. What business does this have on eliminating debt and living a better life you might say?

If we as a nation want to move forward there needs to be accountability yes, but going forward first. Screaming about the past might be good politics to get a Conservative elected maybe, however I believe our economy should be first. I beg the new congress to focus forward. To deal with the issues facing us right now.

The facts will work themselves out, focus on jobs and support companies that keep American works employed. Clean up the bank mess and yes put in tough regulations on utility, oil, and banking. Core activities should be regulated so  that another Enron does not happen. Everyone knows how the past President and administration turned their backs on America so that a few could make profits, while thousands lost their jobs, pensions etc.

Lets not dwell on the mishaps of these people lets move forward with honest people. I know I can dream.

So, lets say that congress and the Obama administration,(and News Media) decide to fight it out, what are you and I to do. Get out of personal consumer debt. Number one item to focus on is debt. How much do you need to live on if you have no debt? Right. Next invest in oil companies stock. One thing is for certain gas, oil, fuel is all going up. BUY, BUY BUY. Both Dems and Reps, will not do anything to relieve that pain.

If you own a home do the small things that you can do to conserve,  It is 2011 make it a good year.

Oil's surge in 2010 paves the way for $4 gasoline - Yahoo! Finance

Oil's surge in 2010 paves the way for $4 gasoline - Yahoo! Finance - I can not stress enough how families need to be careful this year 2011.

The rebound with American Companies was not growth in the States it was from growth oversees. With China expected to grow 5% this year the US will see higher fuel prices. Again our government has failed to reduce the cost of fuel for us.

What to do? Combine trips to the store, plan your purchases to save on travel. This is an easy step if at the beginning of the week you plan out the week. For those heating their homes, look at ways to tighten the home up. Drafts, poor insulation is a major fuel drain. It is like pouring money out the window.

Invest in oil companies stock or a mutual fund that does. 2011 Gold is going to continue up and so are the profits for the oil companies. Jobs will not grow in America like other places. It is to hard for business to grow in the US, so outsourcing will continue.

Plan a meal or two with family and friends that live near by. These activities will keep you from going out to eat, and strengthen your relationships. We have a friend with a Wii and when he brings that over our family loves it. The Wii Fit Plus us a great way to get in shape at home and save on a gym membership.

Challenge friends and family in your own Biggest Loser Competition. There is a 30-day jump start program that is great.

Oil is predicted to hit 5.00 a gallon by 2012. I don't know about you but I don't want to spend my hard earned money on gas or heating my home.

We can do something about it... We need to group together and stop spending, stop running around, spend more time on things that truly matter. By one family at a time taking back their life by being wise and understanding what is going on, it will force prices to come down.

If both spouses work, look at the cost is it worth it? The extra taxes the two vehicles, the child care, eating out, buying lunch, extra clothes for work. Some else raising your children.

Create a plan to eliminate debt and provide a secure financial future for you. Financial Freedom is a Lifestyle
