Only in America?
Not really. The Superbowl is broadcast around the world and watched around the world. People who will never set foot on American soil will watch the game, the advertisements, the cheerleaders, the commentators and the general hullabaloo with the same degree of amazement as we. They will gaze upon the spectacle and believe it indicates we are either a corrupt and amoral society or the bastion of hope for the world; with angst, anger or pride; with feelings of longing or feelings of disgust.
What they will all surmise from the amount of time, money and energy that goes into the event is this: Americans are willing to put their money on the table to acknowledge and respect their institutions – even – perhaps especially – those that are not managed and controlled by government.

If you are concerned about your personal economy take heart. America will see recessions and an occasional depression. The housing market will rise and fall like the tides, as will the stock market and every other market – that’s the nature of markets. Individuals and families will face good times and bad. Even the Americans who follow the wrong advice or choose the wrong financial path will end up OK just because this is America. Some few will thrive no matter what happens. I encourage you to visit www.TheMoneyForLifeBook.com and seriously consider buying
