Saver or Spender??

I am a big saver. I hate spending money and barely ever spend it I don't even like spending gift cards. I'm not about making money and I don't have a job but whenever I do get money I put it away and save it. I don't buy anything that won't have real value to me but I will spend money when needed such as for Christmas or new clothes. I agree with the idea presented in the article because I think that even in this economy people still spend money on things they will never use and spend it way to much. Debt is rising and even our country is deep in debt and still spending enormous amounts of money. I think that we need to become more aware of our money problems and our problems with spending and wanting immediate gratification instead of wanting for the better result. We have grown up being impatient and pleased by the simplest things and we need to break this habit and the article presents an option to solve this issue. In my opinion i think our generation has many problems that we will have to overcome but I also think that we have the right people and leaders to push through the issues that will be presented before us. We will have to battle a dying economy, a growing weapons market, growing tensions of foreign powers, technology and many other issues including the judgement of our elders that will both help and hurt us. I still have a great hope and determination that our generation will be as great as the others before it.

The Tribes I Belong To

I belong to many tribes with many different interests. First I am in the Canton South student tribe and the Ohio State fan tribe. My family away from home is my soccer, basketball and softball tribes. I live for my 4-H tribe and enjoy the pizza-lover tribe. I belong to a large family tribe and a blonde hair tribe. Also the converse loving tribe, the sweatpants wearing tribe and the animal loving tribe. The farm girl tribe and the book loving tribe are part of my life. I am in the making mistakes tribe and the imperfect person tribe. And in the tribe of artists and the tribe of band geeks. I am involved with a large amount of tribes, people and interests that make me who I am. From a positive person tribe, to a missing their bestfriend tribe and a shy girl tribe. I love who I am and enjoy being in the tribes I am, utimatly I am in the tribe of people who have a large number of tribes that define them and their life.

Introvert vs. Extrovert

I believe that I'm an introvert person because I value my time alone. I think that there really is no answer to which type of people "have it easier". I enjoy my time alone but I don't feel lonely, I'm not sad that I'm alone like some people would think. Extrovert can talk to others easy then I can but I have very close friends and talk to people when I want to. So necessarily think that one have an easier life then the other, we just enjoy life in our own ways. I think that if the entire world was extrovert there would be a large amount of social ties and more openness but less closer friends. If everyone was introvert there would just be groups of friends and closer people, maybe a little less circulation of ideas but still there would be leadership. I think most of my friends are introvert but one of my close friends are extrovert and I still love them both so I think that I don't differeniate between my introvert or extrovert friends. I think that either can be leaders because extroverts have more social skills but I have always been a leader and enjoy being in charge. I think that introverts may be able to stay on task a little easier without talking as much and may be able to think more clearly. I think the question of which are better writers, teachers, neighbors all depends on your social opinion. Some introverts may consider extroverts to talkative and annoying, while some extrovert may consider introverts snotty and stuck up. I think overall introvert and extrovert is just how large your circle of friends is and how close you become friends with people.
