I think it is all well and good to think positively . . . but what about all the people who don't get the money they need when they need it?

Isn't there a way of looking at this subject without denying that often it doesn't work out the way it is being professed here?

It's like we come to a point where it's said: don't worry, there'll always be food/shelter/clothing right at the moment we need it -- even if this means we're living on the street and totally destitute. Even then, we still have soup kitchens, a bed in a shelter (or at least a tent on a heat grate), and free clothing from the Salvation Army.

Marinik mentioned the thread Noise, and this is part of what I mean by Noise. Some of us absolutely without a single doubt need to get out of this mindset of "Oh, something will happen to get us out of this mess." Some of us have lived like this for a long time and have just made a bigger and bigger mess. Some of us truly need to learn how to get ourselves out of a mess we created, without always being confident that money will "appear" out of the blue. What about all the people for whom this money doesn't just "appear"?
