We already talked about how to save your money. But that was savings! Now we need to cover how to reduce what you spend every month! Believe it or not, there are tons of ways that you might not have even thought about. Who wouldn’t want to save money! Look at it as the big…
Read moreGet Out of Bed
You’ve heard the term early to bed, early to rise? Well, guess what. It’s a GREAT idea! We all complain about how busy we are, how hectic our lives are, and how we don’t have enough time to do things we enjoy. If we actually change our schedule a little, we can make time! All…
Read moreInvesting (Dividends)
I am fairly new to investing. When I was first married, I was very restless, and felt that I should be doing something to save money, and invest for the future. All I knew at the time was that I should have RRSP’s, and so one day I looked up financial planners in the phone…
Read moreThings to Ponder
Our lives seem to be so full and so busy that we don’t have much time to think. We act on impulse rather than with clarity and sound judgement. I believe we need to make time to stop and think, and evaluate what we are doing, how we are doing, and how it can be…
Read moreMy FAVORITE Blog
I am going to make a confession here. I love talking about money. I love talking about saving money! I don’t know why I’m a little obsessive about it, but I have always gotten excited when it comes to money. As a child, my mom opened bank accounts for me and my sisters when we…
Read moreCoulda Shoulda Woulda
Ya, you know what I’m talking about. We all slip into the doldrums from time to time on the “I could have done that, I should have done that, I would have done that” and we think of all the reasons why we didn’t. Some we view with regret, and others with mixed emotions. It…
Read moreGrandparent NO NO’s
I’m sure there are a lot of other Grandparents out there besides me! I was so proud to have become a Grandma when I was thirty eight years old. Mind you, a step-grandma, I was far too young at that age to have a child who is having children, right?! HA! To fill you in,…
Read morePay it Forward
It’s so wonderful to read stories and see articles that show us, the human race, being kind to one another. It’s a nice change from all the ugliness of the day’s depressing news. I know that when I’ve read stories, it has inspired me to do something nice for someone as well. Whether it’s giving…
Read moreRise Above Being Rude
Guess what. There are rude people everywhere. I can guarantee you that each day you will encounter someone who is rude. For most of us, we don’t get out of bed and make it our goal for the day to be rude to someone, it just happens. It can happen because we are frustrated, or…
Read moreThoughts and Prayers
To me, this is one of the best things I can hear from you. If you are a Christian, you understand it. If you’re not, then it doesn’t make sense. This past year I have seen on social media the rudest forms of mockery on thoughts and prayers. Not just one post, but dozens. Cynical…
