"We rely on something more than this"

Tomorrow's Memorial Day. A holiday I don't really observe except for a cookout usually. I don't really think about the soldiers who have died in honor of our country. I am certainly grateful. I respect and admire our soldiers. Perhaps tomorrow I will think about the Holiday a little more than usual. Think of it as more than just a day off of work.

Two concerns. Lisa and I are both sort of messy, and we both suck at saving money. The messiness we can deal with, but we're going to have to learn how to save if we want to be millionaires by the age of 30. Okay that may be a little unrealistic, but I would like to be a millionaire at some point. I believe that money has power and with great power comes great responsibility. I feel like I already am a greatly responsible person, so I'm just going to reverse the equation meaning that I should have great money. Great meaning Mucho!

Honestly though, I do believe that money can be used to accomplish great things. It is not essential, but it makes life easier. I recently read an article that made a good point: The good Samaritan would not have been nearly as good if he had no money. Sure he could have taken the guy to the hotel, but without money to pay for a room for the guy he wouldn't have had what he needed to heal. He would have been left on the street outside of the hotel instead of left on that wide road that was heavily traveled by robbers and priests.
