I am definitely a saver. I save every penny, nickel, dime, quarter, and dollar. I have a bank for my pennies, then a bank for my dimes, nickels, and quarters, and then a bank for my bills. When I get enough coins, I usually end up rolling them and then I turn in the rolls to get more bills. II have money from my 12th birthday that I haven't spent yet. I have been a saver my whole life because I grew up watching my brother spend his money away and now he is left with nothing. I don't want to be the person that can't afford to buy anything when I am older. I agree with the article because I think people spend their money on worthless things, things they won't use very often or things they will never use. Debt is increasing because people are spending more money than they have and our country is doing the same. They are spending giant amounts of money on things they cant afford and they continue to do it. I think my generation has problems that we need to grow out of. And problems we need to recognize and get away from.

My tribe.
I not only belong to the Irish tribe, but I belong to the Caucasian tribe. And the volleyball tribe. And the athletic tribe. And the tribe of movie lovers. And the tribe of shopping addicts. And the family- oriented tribe. And the art tribe. And the “boots with the fur” tribe. And the tortilla chips without salsa tribe. And the youngest sibling tribe. And the shoe addicts tribe. And the “never owned a pet” tribe. And the dedicated tribe. And the dog lover tribe. And the morning cup of coffee drinker tribe. And the music lovers tribe. And the dancing tribe. And the injury prone tribe. And the most important tribe.. the McNamara tribe!

Introverts and extroverts
I am an extrovert because I like talking to other people and hearing their opinions. It gives me time to compare and contrast my thoughts to others. I think introverts have it easier because they have time all to themselves to re-coop and regain their energy without the drama of other people. They don't have to worry about other peoples thoughts. I think the world would be better if everyone was an extrovert because everyone would be social and outgoing rather than being anti-social and shy. If everyone was an introvert the world would be awkward. The world would be so dreary. No one would know anything about anyone and it would just be flat out awkward. It would be kind of peaceful at the same time because there would be less drama, but I think it is better to be an extrovert. I prefer my friends to be extroverts because I don't want to hang out with them and sit in silence. I want to hang out with them and have a good times that I can remember. I think better leaders are extroverts because a leader can't be anti-social. They have to be broad and confident and introverts are not confident, therefore a leader can not be an introvert. I think introverts are better writers since they express the feelings that they store up, onto paper. Instead of talking to someone else about their problems they can write it all down on paper so someone can read it. I think it depends about introverts and extroverts being neighbors. I have introverts as neighbors and I have extroverts as neighbors and the introverts have not talked to us in our eleven years of living there and the extroverts drive their four wheelers up and down the streets and throw obnoxious parties. The better teachers are definitely extroverts. I like loud teachers that get you in the mood to learn, not the shy, boring teachers that don't talk. I don't think introverts and extroverts matter that much because no matter how loud or how awkward a person is, you can't hate them for that.
