Most people couldn’t tell you. Why is that ? In the very old days ( well before my time ) you used to buy string by the foot or the yard. You bought it for the particular job you had in mind. That was all you could afford.

As a youngster I was teased by my brothers with the question ” How High is a China man? Thinking of the obvious I suggested all sorts of heights from a very small china man 4 foot 10 inches to a very big China man 8 foot 5 inches….and every part between. It was only when my brothers tired of their teasing did they tell me the answer that ” How Hi” was the China mans name!!

Which has nothing to do with the piece of string but shows how gullible I once was and I daresay many of my readers were or are the same. Fortunately I have moved on from there but many people still display the same amount of guilibility.

When we buy a ball of string, we BELIEVE that it represents good value for money. We TRUST that the string will be one continuous string and not cut up into thousands of pieces once we unravel it. We HOPE that the string will be strong enough to hold together whatever we are packaging. And sometimes we PRAY that the credit card will not be declined when we go to pay for it.

Sadly many don’t relate those four key ingredients into their everyday lives when it comes to their Faith in God but it will be of vital importance when you are asked to account for the days of our lives on judgement day.And that day may be sooner than you think!

Over the last 25 years or so we have seen major crisis in the global economy, countries I can name being Russia, Hong Kong, Zimbawbe, Equador, Japan and Argentina. Maybe in the weeks ahead I will explain how it happened, why it happened and the outcome.

The present crisis is much bigger and it is going to effect the world economy. Unlike the previous mentioned this one will not be solved overnight. There will be casulties and many will have their lives , hopes and dreams dashed.

I don’t know what goes on behind closed doors at the G7 and the recently completed G20 Economic Summit meetings.

But you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to know that all the ladies and gentlemen present won’t have to worry about where their next meal is coming from, or worry about their retirement.

The People I worry about are those particularly affected ( my many American Readers) who for years have been faithfully putting money in 401k and other investment programs in the BELIEF that their due Diligence will HOPEFULLY give them a lifestyle in their old age. And they have put their TRUST in the elected members of their Governments to do this on our behalf.

Notice something ? They are the same words I used in the ball of string story. The only one I missed out on was the PRAY word. And that I will do collectively for the many thousands who watch this website on a regular basis.

If you have lost everything ( or a lot) promise me one thing . To start again. But start again on your terms .

Remember the Greatest Bank Robberies have been committed by the banks themselves. Fueled by Mans greed and easy credit. Pay what you owe in taxes but question everything you spend and DON’T believe that the best way to trade out of a recession is to keep spending.That is what some are saying now. RUBBISH!!!.

( Unless they are going to null and void everyones debt, including mortgages, loans and Inter Government Promissory notes)

And if you believe that you will have seen all those little pink Pigs flying by!!!!

Ever put out a fire by putting on more petrol?? Definatelty not.

In my First Book DIE OLD DIE WELL ! I talked in depth ( a whole chapter) of an animal that is the greatest saver in the world, an animal that we as humans must follow , if we want to stay financially alive and come out the other side of what is happening in the world today.

And the length of this crisis ….word is 18 months minimum ( if everyone agrees in reality 3 years maybe 5 )

You are going to have to keep watching for a while yet!!

How about some feedback?? I would love to hear from you!!!!! Tell Me As it Is !!!
