Here is Katie's blog post:

Life in general is hard. We've all had our fair share of unfortunate events and struggles but along with those hard times come the beautiful moments and memories that make up life. Memories from the past, the memories being made as we speak, and finally the memories that will come from the future. The future... The topic of this blog. Many people wonder about what the big man's plan is for our generation, a.k.a "Generation Y". You may have heard speculation of hard times to come, extra tough housing market, and the ever- looming competitive workforce!

How about a little optimism folks? The only person who can control your future is you! So why not take a moment today and take that extra step in saving money or even spend a little well earned cash and enjoy the life that you have! Your future depends on your happiness. So go forth and conquer my young and free people!
