Well, my foot is healing from the spider bite / surgery

and now is the fun part, the itching! It is driving me

even crazier than the pain did, as IF I was not already

there, lol. AND I am still on call, waiting for my new

grandson who can come any day up TO April 1. Three year

old Madison is only staying long enough to meet her

new brother and then coming home with Grandma for a

few days, up to a week. Hopefully the weather will

cooperate, this is an awesome place to live in the

Spring and there is a lot to do O U T S I D E so that

ONE of us can run off excess energy and the OLD one

of us can try to keep up. :-)

The Budget – The Ultimate Financial Management Tool

 

 

A carpenter uses a set of house plans to build a house.

If he didn’t, the bathroom might get overlooked altogether.

 

Rocket Scientists would never begin construction on a new

booster rocket without a detailed set of design specifications.

Yet most of us go blindly out into the world without an inkling

of an idea about finances and without any plan at all.

 

Not very smart of us, is it?

 

A money plan is called a budget and it is crucial to get us

to our desired financial goals.

 

Without a plan, we will drift without direction and end up

marooned on a distant financial reef.

 

If you have a spouse or a significant other, you should make

this budget together. Sit down and figure out what your joint

financial goals are for the long term and short term.

 

Then plan your route to get to those goals. Every journey

begins with one step and the first step to attaining your

goals is to make a realistic budget that both of you can

live with.

 

A budget should never be a financial starvation diet.

That won’t work for the long haul. Make reasonable

allocations for food, clothing, shelter, utilities

and insurance and set aside a reasonable amount for

entertainment and the occasional luxury item.

Savings should always come first before any spending.

 

Even a small amount saved will help you reach your long term

and short term financial goals. You can find many budget forms

on the internet. Just use any search engine you choose and type

in “free budget forms”.

 

You’ll get lots of hits. Print one out and work on it with

your spouse or significant other. Both of you will need to

be happy with the final result and feel like it’s something

you can stick to.

Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice

at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow".

re: spider bite

 

OMG! I can't believe how fortunate you are! Angels were looking

over you for sure, Jan. Thank God you finally got to the

emergency and got care. I don't blame the doctor for being

so cautious about you possibly being diabetic because so

many people are and don't even know it. If you were, and he

lanced that bubble...infection galore could set in. Then you

would have additional consequences to deal with. Amen, girl.

you take care now.

 Faye

 

>> thanks, Faye, I always know that even if NO ONE ELSE is,

you are reading. Yes, I do thank God and also my boyfriend

for nagging me as I just might have stuck it out a day longer

if he had not offered to walk home FROM where he works, same

town as ER, 30 miles away! and drive me himself if I did not

go- even though his license is suspended!

 

thanks, as ALWAYS, for caring :-) XO
