Damn straight. Now all y'all don't get scared by the 40%; even 10% is a heapsight better than zip. Brooke's absolutely right:
Pay yourself FIRST.
If you be waiting until you get some extra cash to start saving, then you won't ever start because there ain't no such thing as extra cash. If you make stashing cash in savings, then investments, just as routine as you make your car note, rent, all that stuff, and if it compounds in the fullness of time you will eventually escape financial stress and ultimately become financially independent and secure.
America will once again be a place for unlimited opportunity after Obama's gone. Possibly even more splendid than before because we as a nation will have been reminded of the necessity and the power of personal responsibility by the trickle-up poverty of socialism.
And, yes
, y'all is a real word. It's singular. The plural of
y'all is
all y'all.
