Can your relationship work well if you all are opposities with regards to money management skills?

Thursday, July 30, 2009

In your relationship who is the spender and whose the saver? Well, I definitely fall into the category of a SAVER! I don't spend money on non-essential items. It is a rare occasion if I decide to splurge on buying stuff. After paying monthly bills I put the rest of my money up for a rainy day. During these economic time its very important to have as much "rainy day" funds as possible. My main goal is to be conservative with my income. I guess I owe my grandfather for my current train of thought.


My significant other and my relationship works out alright, because my "saver" mentality off sets her "spending" mentality. Although, I can't completely change my girls spending behavior, but by her being around me she has become more frugal. Maybe if I continue to preach about our best options of managing money it will curb even more her desires to splurge on unnecessary items.

How to keep your man's attention?



Does your man look at you from top to bottom when you walk? Ladies please tell me the answer is yes. I love to see a women walk with confidence,grace, and her ability to "strut on the cat walk". Ladies you have to change your approach and become more spontaneous. Also be ready and willing to maybe agree to do a few things he wants. Hopefully, all the special, and additional attention from you motivates your man to go above and beyond to put a huge smile on your face constantly! Here are a few ways to have his eyes glued on you.
  • Cook his favorite meals whenever you have a chance to.
  • Call your man, while he's at work and tell him you got a surprise for him when he arrives home from work.
  • Be involved(but please don't ask to many questions) with one of his favorite activities.
  • Do a mini-makeover, where you go buy a new outfit, Find a new hairstyle that both you and he will love and admire looking at. Don't forget to have your nails painted and polished. Yes a women should always or at least try to keep their nails done. That then gives her the complete look.
  • Exercise regularly and eat healthier for several weeks then find something in your wardrobe that shows off all your hard work.
  • Leave a note inside his car telling him to meet you somewhere that's not the norm.
  • Dress to impress. put on those outfits that make you feel confident and sexy. trust me he will notice; even if he hasn't mentioned it.

As a parent are you giving your child the best chance to suceed in a society that is constanly shifting to more advanced technological process?

After your child graduates from high school will you be able to "Honestly" say you did everything within your power to prepare them to be competitively and have an opportunity to succeed in society. Yes it is true, there are no guarantees in life!The process of grooming your children begins early as possible. Have you done anything to motivate your children to participate in various sports. One of the many topics they learn about is the importance of teamwork in each of these sports. Maybe some of the lessons they learn they will remember and put to good use. Just because your child is involved in sports is not the answer to preparing your child for a productive, successful life after completing high school.

There is a lot more to the equation than just sports. Spending quality time developing their intellect. Doing things together as a family will make it more fun and even more so more beneficial to helping your child learn new information. Libraries contain all types of information to assist your child as well as Flashcards, Computer Programs, and even workshops for all ages. The essential aspect is for them to learn new information.The more exposure the better and of course within reason people! Not going to work my child to death! LOL

The reason I discussed the importance of sports and other learning opportunities is that it teaches skills and invaluable lessons that will serve them well years down the road in college, and during your career path you will have to understand the definition of teamwork. Then there will be situations where you will put your knowledge and practical experience to use. Remember, some of those lessons from baseball in the 5th grade? By equipping your child with the "Right Educational Tools" they will be able to rise to the occasion.

The importance of family to me is significant. The role of my family played in shaping me into a man with integrity,morals,ambitious, and goals was tremendous. Today I owe many thanks and other forms of gratitude to show my appreciation to them. I believe the 4 things all parents should instill in their children is Discipline,love,resilience, and faith. I will touch on these topics in due time.
