Just trying to adjust to life and a budget after being in business for years and paying
bills out of the cash flow of the business.I am developing a new appreciation for
ladies abilities to manage a household. Having a lot of spare time now that I am
retired and living alone, I have done some hard thinking about life.I have concluded
that each person needs a mentor early in life. Not family, a professional who is
literate enough to phrase advice in a style that a child can learn from. My
Grandmother was a good example of a religious teacher. She knew to go to the
right books in the Bible to read to hold the attention of a young boy. David and
Goliath, Sampson and Delila, Noahs Ark, etc. This mentor program would be a
useful addition to any schools curriculum.

If I had had as good a teacher for things financial, as my grandmother was to things
religious, I would be a millionaire several times over. I had a million more than once.
But couldn't hang onto it You wouldn't believe how easy it is go through a million.
And how fast it can be done. Just caving into each desire that strikes you. There is
the carefree euphoria that comes with newly rich, hitched right behind the crashing
depression of realizing that you are no long a millionaire.. nor even a thousandaire.
You are suddenly, unbelievably fast.. broke. And you find that all the stuff you bought,
is now worth about 10% of what you paid for it . Hard lessons. Some one once said
that old age is not for sissies. Neither is poverty.
And so, newly arrived at old ages door, You find yourself totally unprepared for all
this necessity induced frugality. And being alone after living with another years.
You have time to think about the choices you made in life. You review things and
realize that you once had a golden opportunity for happiness, but pissed it off, just
as You pissed off your money.
The ego takes a beating. And no body will beat you up half so thoroughly as your self.
Broiled in self condemnation for some time.. Then I realized that I didn't have to
spend valuable time beating myself up. There are plenty of people who would love to
do it four me, for free. Realize that you are exactly where you are supposed to be.
Right Now. How do you know you are supposed to be right where You are, right now? Easy.
Because you are. Life delivers us to where we are supposed to be for each intuition of any
import that we receive along the way. Some intuitions can not be experienced with out the
proper pre experience. 4 instance, we cannot appreciate properly, a woodsy clearing with
a stream running through it without having experienced the desert. We cannot as thoroughly
appreciate true love w /out having been betrayed. And we cannot be trained 2 look at the
bright side w/o having burned in hell. Been there, done that. There are good things waiting
for me. I know. I've already been through hell. So now, I have a confident 'Bring It On'
attitude.
