Today is the last day of 2010! It’s really hard to believe that 2010 has come and gone so quickly. Now is the time to reflect on last year’s successes and to plan ahead for next year. What do you want to achieve in 2011? What are your financial goals?
Picture in your mind what you want the next year to look like. Then, write down ways you plan to make sure these things happen. In order to ensure that you can meet your goals, you need to start early on in the year.
I’m going to keep this short and sweet today! I wish you and yours all the very best for 2011 and hope you have a very Merry Christmas! Thanks so much for reading this blog. It means a lot to me that you take the time out of your day to check it out. I wish you many blessings for the upcoming year!
We all have our own ideas about life and what it is supposed to be like. We often expect everyone’s life to be pretty much the same, following the status quo in a certain sequence – get an education, get a job, get married, have kids, and then eventually retire. But not everyone is satisfied with the status quo.
Take for instance, Captain Keith. He and his family decided that they wanted to live on a boat at sea rather than continue with their humdrum life. Although living in a boat is certainly not appropriate for every family, so far it seems to be working well for his. Apparently it is a really inexpensive lifestyle that gives you freedom you have never dreamed of.
Although very few people ever do experience winning a big lottery jackpot, it is always interesting to see what people decide to do with their winnings. It is extremely interesting when people give most of their winnings away.
A recent Yahoo! Article talks about a special couple from a small town in Nova Scotia who generously gave away all but about 2% of their $11.2 million winnings. Their names are Allen and Violet Large and I think their last name truly depicts their personality. They certainly are large in the spirit of generosity.
When it comes to insurance companies, it is really important to make sure you are getting your money’s worth when you make a claim. I was recently in a car accident on my way home from work. In order to ensure that I received the full insurance benefits, I immediately got in touch with my insurance provider and asked specific questions.
I found out that I was entitled to a courtesy vehicle because the accident was not my fault. I also discovered that I could claim my injuries and that the insurance company would cover any medical expenses incurred as well as any time I miss from work due to my injuries. The representatives I spoke with were reluctant but I was persistent and eventually was able to get everything I had asked for.
