Mortgages, Scholarships, completely new homes! These are just some of the things that Extreme Home Makeover does for families.

It's amazing the amount of money that you have to spend in today's society in order to just, live! No wonder people are so stressed out. Money is everything to support a family and to give them a comfortable living, and I'm not even talking about "keeping up with the Joneses" but just living and raising kids.

How can this change? How can it work so that parents are home more with their kids than stressing over deadline? So that young unmarried and single people can enjoy their youth and still make a living?
How can our society change so that the hard working folks are rewarded for their hard work instead of not seeing most of their money after everything else is taken out? How can society change so that it's more a community of workers instead of a selfish and sometimes parasitical society?

This blog was inspired by a friend. Here are pictures of me through the ages, starting with 2003 and ending with 2009.
