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"?

Well at one point I was there where you are saying most of the people are, I made a mess out of my finances and then I met my husband and he helped me get out of that hole. Saying it is sitting and waiting to clear (the mess) by it self is not what I meant. I have done the best in everything I did not worrying about money. It -the money- came as the consequence of my giving the most I could to everybody and into everything I did. But if you are paralyzed by the fear and repeat the same old habits and actions you are going to be in the same mess all the time.
