Living for today - Planning for Tomorrow
Ever see those YouTube ads with a guy talking in front of a luxury car? He starts with, “Here in my garage…” If so, you witnessed Tai Lopez building an online presence that has since earned him millions.. Lopez’s rags-to-riches story is compelling, but when it comes to his 67-Step Program and various other sales techniques, are we looking at the real deal or a
For me, Blue Apron was the defibrillator my pallet needed to experience new foods, flavors, and aromas. I have a busy life as a work-at-home wife and mother of two. Because of this I often get stuck in the same cycle of meals: Taco night, spaghetti night, stir fry night, pizza night, etc. My husband and I want to eat healthier and get away from
Is getting healthier on your list of things to do this year? Costco is a great resource, in that case. I never thought it was worth it to pay a grocery store for access, but that was until I started hearing all the buzz about Costco. I mainly heard about its great pricing, friendly customer service, and inexpensive fuel. But it wasn’t until I discovered
Money is the #1 cause of stress in a relationship, according to a survey released by SunTrust Bank. Divorces occur every day due to money fights in marriage. Since money will be a part of every relationship, throughout its entirety, let’s install a solid defense system against those damaging phrases that could ignite conflict. Instead of sharing what you could say to your significant other about
Everybody loves an underdog. We love a rags to riches story of a woman beating the odds and carving out a well-earned life of wealth. But, what about the woman who woke up one day with a billion dollar share in her family’s company? What traits for success do wealthy women from all walks of life have to offer us? Does their advice even apply
The other day, I was reading a book about backyard birds in North America to my 3-year-old. I’ll admit; it wouldn’t have been my first choice, but sometimes my kids are more mature than me. That’s when it dawned on me. These common birds are doing their best to build nest eggs just like us. In fact, one of them exhibits habits that remind me
I spent the past weekend helping my Dad host a yard sale at his store. Much of my family gathered up their unwanted junk and took it to sell. The store was almost instantly packed full of yard sale shoppers. Almost everything sold. Interestingly enough, holding that yard sale outside of the store more than quadrupled my Dad’s regular sales. (Who would’ve thought?) With the
Happy New Year!! I hope 2013 was an awesome year for year and hopefully 2014 will be even better. In the spirit of the New Year I wanted to talk about you achieving your goals. Goals are so powerful – if you set them right, make a plan to achieve them, and whole heartedly go for it – you can do anything that you want.
I love this time of year. The anticipation of the next few month’s financial boosts always gets me feeling good. Once we’ve gone through those, then summer is right around the corner. So, what am I talking about? In February we get our annual bonus at work. In March, it’s our annual raises, and at our house we usually get a tax return about that
I have spent the better part of the last year looking for a rental house to purchase. At one point I got really excited and put an offer in on a house a few blocks from me that the bank was dumping for 50% of it’s value because it was missing all the windows. I was really bummed when I got beat out. (There were
