the "Little Piggy" in the BRICK House

"The Three Little Pigs"

In 1947, at the age of 8, in 3rd Grade, we all knew the story of the "Three Little Pigs".  Our Teacher used that story to get us to understand the importance of reliable SHELTER.  We were taught the "Basics" of FOOD, CLOTHING, and SHELTER; the security they provided, and, how they were provided for us.  We were also taught the importance of Structures, and Building Materials (Brick, versus Straw and Sticks).  We had all lived through the WAR years, and were very aware of the importance of SAVING, and wise SPENDING.

In 2015, it appears that none of our children know any of this; not only at the age of nine, but NEVER!  These survival topics have been taken for granted!!  Adults, who should have known better, were lured into treating their houses as "slot machines, for cash"!  Slick Lawyers, in Divorce Cases, cheat clients, mostly women, by taking advantage of their ignorance of hidden costs!.  No one seems to  know how to recognize costs!!

We were all taught how easy it is to "Take Candy From a Baby".  Today, in our ultra-modern, super-sophisticated economy of 2015; we have adults, teenagers, and children as young as 3, who can be convinced to pay large sums of money for NOTHING of any Real Value!

I knew, in 1947, that I wanted to be like the Piggy in the Brick House!  Now, in 2015, that lesson and the habits that came with it, will sustain me into by "Hospice Days".  My Medical Costs and my Retirement Income are both secure, as a result.

Stay Vigilant!  The Past held values that we have trashed!  We stand in awe that so many of our youth "see no future" for themselves.  Go Figure!!
