Financial Lies That Can Crush Your Retirement
Even after the financial crisis of 2008 retirees continue to be victims of lies and myths of Wall Street and the financial media. So-called gurus and experts manipulate statistics to convince you-not educate you-that if you don’t invest the way they suggest you are in great danger of outliving your money. Here are two popular myths you should ignore if you want to protect your nest egg.
Healing Ourselves Through Awareness and Faith
There is always an aspect of ourselves or our lives that needs healing, isn’t there? Depending upon how aware we are of what needs to be healed, we can catch these “hurts” when they are like tiny scratches that just need a little bandaid and a kiss from Mommy! However, without that awareness, these issues– perhaps those we are tucking under a pillow and ignoring– may require a lot more mending later on. In fact, they can become large wounds that prevent us from moving forward in our lives, careers, or within important relationships.
Dealing With Children’s Fears And The News
I was recently a guest on Telemundo’s national morning show Un Nuevo Dia and was asked to help their TV audience process the previous day’s terrorist attacks in Brussels with their children. Here is the script, since I feel that this is relevant information for all families.
Everyday Strategies for Staying Hydrated
Water is life; it is a part of numerous critical biochemical processes in the body. Water carries regenerative nutrients – such as vitamins and minerals – to every cell in our body. It makes chemical and metabolic reactions happen, is integral in regulating our body temperature, and it keeps our bodies healthy by facilitating detoxification and eliminating waste products.
Connecting The Dots
It’s been said that the two most happiest times in an individual’s life is the day they were born and the day they discover why they were born. Have you ever questioned yourself, asking, “there has to be more to life than this?” It has to be more to life than just waking up day after day going to work coming back home going to sleep and doing it all over again. There has to be more to life than paying bills. There has to more to life than going to church or any other religious institution.
The Best Way To Buy A Car
I believe in spending time doing the things I enjoy doing. I’d rather seek professional help with activities that I dislike and am not an expert at. Many people don’t realize they can employ the services of an automobile broker to purchase a late model or low mileage car, often at tremendous savings, over what it would cost to buy a new car. Buying a new car can be very intimidating and as a result, most people purchase a new car with little or no preparation. Walking into a new car dealership can be a very scary experience if you don’t know what you’re doing.
What’s Burning You?
My husband recently bought an outdoor fire pit for our son’s backyard camping party. Last night, I was enjoying the crisp, cool evening by the fire and was mesmerized by the stunning flames. Within in a minute or so this question came to me—“What’s burning you?” So, I decided to ponder upon the question for a while.
The Importance of Hydration
Water is a basic necessity for all life. Without it, life can’t exist. When water is limited, living organisms suffer. This fact is particularly true for active people whose mental and physical performance is suboptimal if hydration is inadequate. Quite simply, not getting enough water means you can’t do your best, and worse, can lead to serious health problems.
Managing Your Personal Brand
Personal brand is a hot topic these days, especially in our competitive job market. What is it, how do you get it and how do you manage it once it’s established? The key to all three is alignment. Your personal brand is the way people see you and it’s ideally aligned with who you really are. You get it by seeking feedback and you manage it by living up to your full potential. Feeling puzzled?
3 Tips to Make Sure You Have an Emergency Fund That is Right for You
One of the worst things that can happen to you if you live in Florida is to have your air conditioning go out during the middle of summer. Often times this means you have the unexpected surprise of having to replace your entire system, which could run anywhere from $3,000 to $5,000. Or, maybe you’re retired and some of your income is coming from rental properties, and then, horror of all horrors, your tenant stops paying rent. Or, you have unexpected repairs to perform on the rental property which will eat up most, if not all, of your rental income. These are just a couple of examples of why it is so critically important to have a rainy day, emergency reserve fund. You may wonder how much you should have in your emergency fund and where you should put the money? Here are 3 tips to guide you.
