I had an idea that I wanted to share....

with you and maybe see what you think. My wife and I are having some....let's call them financial challenges and I have this idea for getting out of them. First, keep in mind that we already have debt that we owe....and to be honest....some that we owe money to don't like us very much. Also, our home is quite old and in need of considerable updating and we have a couple of rather tired automobiles. I should probably tell you how we got into this mess. Well....we waste money! Even though we have always earned plenty, we insist on spending much more than we earn and pretty much buy whatever we want. Actually, I use "we" very loosely because most of this isn't my fault. It was my wifes previous two husbands that actually racked up the debt....alright, I guess I should explain because, if you are family, you are probably confused and thinking "huh....Bev was never married before" and if you're not family you are probably surprised and thinking "Wow....I didn't know Mark was Bevs' third husband". Focus and keep reading....you should understand shortly if you haven't figured it out yet. Alright....here is the plan....I'm going to borrow approximately $500,000. I'm going to use approx. $100,000 to update and remodel my home. I'm going to use approx. $100,000 to purchase two new vehicles. I'm then going to give each of my children and my wife approx. $100,000 each to spend and invest as they see fit. I'm going to keep approx. $100,000 for myself to do the same. I'm not exactly sure how this is all going to work and have no idea how I am going to pay this money back or how long that will take, but I think it's a good idea and am going to go with it. So....what do you think? Oh really....you think it's a bad idea! Since it wouldn't be practical to actually wait for you to respond, I've taken the liberty to respond for you....I hope you don't mind....anyway....I'm sure that's what you're thinking. May I ask, why is it so surprising that a report came out that the Obama administration received a failing grade from most of the top economists polled concerning economic policy? I guess most of the top economic minds don't think running up a trillion plus dollar debt is going to fix our economy. By the way, any idiot should have figured out that my preceding story was simply a metaphor loosely based on a true story (except for the previous two husbands and other embellished details....kinda like a lifetime movie). If you hadn't figure this out, I probably just offended you and should apologize....but, I'm not going to....it's for the best that you know these things about yourself. Yeah, I know, it's not very "politically correct" calling people idiots and some day, if I run for President, some liberal democrat will dig this up and say "See....he thinks all Americans are idiots". For the record, that is just not true....I only think about 10 to 20% of Americans are idiots, another 10 to 20% are in danger of becoming idiots if not careful, another 20 to 30% are just ignorant and 40 to 50% are resonable thinking people. Of that 40 to 50% come most of those reading this blog and you are just 1st string, grade A people! I'm not going to explain every aspect of the metaphor. If I need to do that, you should at least watch the news once in a while!
