    Budgeting 101-Automate

    The best approach to budgeting that I’ve found is to automate as much as possible. By having savings come out automatically, before I even see any money, I’m able to reach savings goals. Recently, I’ve been making extra payments on what little debt I have, so I can completely eradicate it and really focus on…

  • Patriot

    Patriot

    Are you patriotic? What does being patriotic mean to you? This is a good question to think about right now, this President’s Day… I think of myself as patriotic. Being patriotic means that I love my country and what it stands for. It means that I might not always agree with those in charge, but…

  • Well, That Didn’t Work…

    Well, That Didn’t Work…

    If there were a biography about you, what would the title be? Well, That Didn’t Work… But That Did! I have made my share of mistakes in life. But there are things that have worked. And the mistakes I’ve made are all part of what has made me who I am today. So in a…

  • At My Age

    At My Age

    What were your parents doing at your age? When my parents were in their early 50s, they were doing pretty much the same things I’m doing- working, being active in their activities that they’d put on hold while raising kids, getting involved with hobbies. But something that they were doing that I am not is…

  • Gravity

    Gravity

    If you had the power to change one law, what would it be and why? I used to play a lot of Minecraft. My kids got me into it, and we’ve spent countless hours on there, literally hundreds, even through COVID, when we’d hop on our server and play and chat over Discord. There were…

    Dream Home

    Write about your dream home. It would have lots of sunlight… Trees all around… Like black walnut, and weeping willow… A lilac bush and a garden… But the best part of it would be the people that would be there. That’s what makes my dream house a home. πŸ™‚ What would be in your dream…

  • If I Got Great News…

    If I Got Great News…

    I’d share it! I’d be texting and calling my family. My friends. I’m not much of a social media sharer these days, but I keep in close touch with the ones that matter most to me. πŸ™‚ What would you do?

  • Circus Peanuts

    What’s your favorite candy? Spoiler alert- circus peanuts aren’t actually my favorite candy. But they have been on my mind a lot lately, and I’ve been eating them almost every day. Circus peanuts are old school! They are an American candy that’s marshmallow-y, fat, peanut-shaped, and orange. They taste like what I imagine styrofoam would…

  • Information/Breaks

    Information/Breaks

    Do you need a break? From what? We all need breaks from time to time. I’m finding lately that what I want a break from is information. There is so much. All the time. At our fingertips. And it’s not always good, or accurate. There are times too, when I just want to stop and…

  • Invented

    Invented

    I’ve been around over half a century… So when I think about inventions, I had to google it because there have probably been a lot of them. The term “google it” for one. The internet is up there as one of the most important inventions of the last 50-plus years, and computers as well. Computers…
