The virtue of saving

— Not everyone who moves to Steamboat can afford a house. The opposite thinking is what got us into the subprime mortgage mess that we're in today. : Today's work force needs to learn to delay instant gratification in favor of long-term goals. Everyone thinks he/she is entitled to everything - including a home - now. : This country needs to get back to a mindset where saving is a virtue.

Get involved in giving

Sacrifice typically comes in the form of involvement in something that goes beyond benefiting primarily our own self interest. For the vast majority of us, the opportunity for involvement will be local not national. Individually, we need to ask ourselves what we are doing. Are we players or watchers of the game?
