Yes, readers I am Diversified!  Soledad O’Brien’s CNN Special,” Almighty Debt” was very informative. If you did not have the opportunity to see the 2 hour special, please get the podcast as soon as possible.  The most important point that I would like to reference is , “Most of us are Middle Class by Income-Only!” Wow, if this statement is in fact truth. What I think the economist was trying to say is that, “Most of us are living paycheck-to-paycheck” even in the middle class.” How long could you survive is you lost your job on tommorrow? How much money do you have saved? How much investment income do you have?

Then we should implement what we read into our weekly, monthly and daily plans. Then we need to change. That is simply continuing the good things we start over time. A number of us need to re-invent ourselves for 2011.
