Lessons from a 7 year old

Dreaming is free when your seven years old. There is no cost, you have unlimited credit, and the return on investment is infinity. It is sad that a seven year old had to remind me of these facts. So next time your creative money juices take over let them run wild. The cost of not dreaming could be losing a life changing money thought.

Money & Food on Oprah.

It may be uncommon for a manly man to admit he watches Oprah. A guest on the show spoke about the virtues of cooking at home versus going out. The use of leftovers can be the secret weapon to savings in your food budget. Leftovers in my house go slowly because I like variety. So I tend to cook new food and try hard to mix in left overs. The guest on the show was a pro that turned a few days of leftovers into amazing no cost dishes.

The Value of Critical Conversations.

Once in a while you must have a critical conversation. These usually start off well and end in disaster. So how does one make them a win-win for everyone involved? Be honest and authentic.  Honesty can be difficult when you expect the conversation to go badly. Honesty makes it less likely that you will second guess your entire conversation later.  Now this is not the brutal honesty a bad singer gets during American Idol auditions. It is the honesty of friends alerting you of bad breath. Many good interactions have gone bad because all they can remember is your breath stinks.  Everyone is better off for the honesty and use of a breath mint.

I love the Sunshine

Spring forward..fall back…to sleep…it was difficult to get up this morning.  And because I don’t drink coffee only the bright sunshine forced me out of my slumber.  Daylight savings time makes life easier for me.  I get some extra daylight and you know the winter snow will soon be gone.  Living in Colorado has its benefits, but I will take sun over snow any day.  Superman recharged his super powers using the sun.  I would definitely say the winter blues remind of Kryptonite.  Long live sunshine.

Maybe the Sky is Falling!

Recently, I attended a workshop that focused on the economy.  As if we all haven’t heard the SKY IS FALLING.  Actually, it appears to be the stock market is falling.  Centuries of history prove the survivors of these times enjoy uncommon prosperity as a result of the choices they make when all hope seems to be gone.  The workshop focused on the upside potential that exist right now.  The most important example is that for 90% people their personal economics have not changed.
