Short of being rich, we all have to budget our money. Money has to be set aside for housing, utilities, automobile expenses (unless you are in a city and take a bus, in which case you still need to budget for the bus), clothing, personal care and of course food. Those of us with kids

Just another quick example of how messed up our health care system is. Bush started negotiations with New Zealand… Now New Zealand, like every other first world “westernized” country has universal health care. Every New Zealand citizen is covered.

Okay, so we have a 5 year plan to move out of the US. We have a few main points of looking at so far… Wellington, New Zealand. I would prefer somewhere along the Kapiti Coast if I could get a job there as well since it is so far from Wellington’s CBD, but still
