Check out this survey created by the United States Labor Department. The survey details how the average U.S. Consumer Unit (ie family) spends their annual paycheck. And the winner is.......HOUSING! It seems everyone who is getting money is spending just as much to maintain their lifestyle or appearance. A look at money as a perpetual loss. When I get it, it's gone. Through the things we own we consequently become slaves to the company which renders the service. I owe T-Mobile. I'd like to think that next time I get some money it is mine. I may spend it but T-Mobile has already claimed it. They called me and told me my phone would be off if they don't get THEIR money. Luckily, I have the option of losing my phone service. However, housing is a necessity and most people do not have the option of losing their homes. This is sadly the norm right now. More than 2 millions homes were foreclosed in 2008.
