So Ive come home to see so many ppl whinging about a tough budget. Im not a political mastermind and by no means an economist so who knows really whats in store. I know this though. Im going to be impacted and yes Ill need to curb things to keep up but then reality strikes and tells me that Ive just come back from countries where the ppl have literally nothing but the clothes on their backs but still open their homes, hearts and find money to share around their families and their new found friends so in short Harry ... stop stressing about it and get on with being proactive. We have become a self entitled spoilt little country that thinks only of our next pay cheque and what cool things we can buy with our next govt hand out. Tough reform costs money and whos going to pay for it? Truth be told I think its going to be general Aussies rather than big business but then nothing in life is free so why does it surprise ppl when we are asked to pay for debts generated by multiple govts in the past 10-20yrs? You have the power and choice to choose in this country. With choice comes repercussions you might not like. Heres a thought to save cash if youre really worried about pending budget cuts... Cancel your Pay TV subscription which goes to American owned companies, reduce your internet speed or download limit (some ppl dont have a computer let alone internet where most Australians have at least 2 CPU internet connected devices), buy local and Australian products instead of imports this fuelling jobs and increasing production in house, cut down on sugar products that are expensive and unhealthy for you, learn to say no to your impulse buys and those impulses of your kids. Teach them how to save and more importantly how to budget and finally realise that NO government in this land whether in power or opposition has the responsibility to give you tax cuts, Payments, subsidies or hand outs. You on the other hand DO have a responsibility to contribute to your success and your own happiness what ever that means for you. Food for thought or an idle rant... You can be the judge or you can move on towards your own happiness :) Over and out...
