Keeping the Wolf Away From the Door
Keeping the Wolf Away From the Door
By Elton Camp
Who has seen hard economic times like these
Few of us are still able to spend as we please
Even those with jobs feel they’re not so steady
So to take on needless debt sure aren’t ready
It is very risky for most of us to invest in stock
But the low return on our savings is a bad shock
To fund our retirement we are told to be saving,
But the world all around us seems to be caving
And adding to the economic woes like these,
Many desirable jobs have been moved overseas
Another problem is illegal aliens who are able
To work cheap if they’re paid under the table
What can we do to repel that wolf from the door?
There’s a need for discipline as never seen before
It seems advisable to cut such expenses as we can
And work out and use a sensible budgeting plan
