Dealing With Life's Frustrations

Dealing With Life’s Frustrations By Elton Camp Are you so tired of a pointless rat race An endless barrage of problems to face A mortgage so large it’ll never end Credit card debt too big to reign in Utility bills that constantly increase Unexpected expenses that never cease Payment on your car is way too steep Gas that will never again be cheap Constant fear that you might get fired But of pressure at work really tired Maybe it is finally time reality to see From it all, simply cut yourself free Don’t dismiss this idea out of hand Move to a cave & live off the land

It looks as if we're coming to that, Elton..but man can adapt if it comes to that, I suspect. I pray that everyone sees it this way..take it day by day. Love, annalise

People are truly adaptable. To fail to adapt is to die. My family lives below its "means" in an old, but nice house fully paid for. Also our newest car is a 1999 Toyota. It would be easy to start paying on a "McMansion" and to buy a new Benz, but we don't want to go that route. Thanks for reading and for your comment. Elton
