I Give

I was contemplating the other day how great it was when I didn't care. When I didn't understand the importance of the Dow, Mortgage Rates were whatever they were and Presidential decisions seemed not to make any impact to my little world. I started in my company in the early 90's when we were in a significant recession, I remember boarded up homes in Moreno Valley and beyond and Real Estate "AT AN ALL TIME LOW".

I remember saying "It doesn't matter who's in charge, the fundamentals of opportunity in America don't change, work hard, aspire for much, and save your money." I have had many years of prosperity then, my 401k has grown, my home value (and unfortunately mortgage) is 4 times what it was and I am keenly aware of how people around me want me to believe that all we need is "Change." I hope we never change, I hope we continue to live in a country where no particular political leader no matter how unscrupulous, inexperienced, or even philandering can't change those fundamentals.

Fortunately in February whatever New American President takes office the fundamentals won't change, even if the color or sex does.
