Can’t Buy Me Love
2011-01-11 08:31:00
When it comes to finances, I’m sure you’re familiar with two old sayings: “Money can’t buy happiness,” and “Money is the root of all evil.” The first one is true; however the second one is not. It’s actually a misquotation. The original saying is: “The LOVE of money is the root of all types of evil.” Money’s not the problem. It’s not evil. It’s our love of money that sometimes leads us to do wrong things. Sure, money can buy a lot of stuff, but it’s incapable of producing or securing real inner peace and joy. That’s why you can’t be consumed with money; either making, spending or saving it. Real happiness needs to be found elsewhere. Comment here.

The Burden of Debt
2010-12-28 20:03:00
Several financial concerns have arisen for truckers since the economy has worsened. Perhaps the biggest is the issue of debt. Will you be able to keep paying your bills? How can you reduce your mounting debt? Are mortgage, car and credit card bills piling up fast, threatening to bury you? Simply making ends meet can become a full-time job in and of itself. It’s a load that every trucker carries with him everywhere they go. Maybe 2011 is the year you need to become more disciplines in your spending habits. You can start with buying only what you need. Learn to live within your means. As you do, you load will get lighter. Comment here.

Profit Sharing
2009-01-30 08:06:00
When it comes to our finances, conventional wisdom says ‘To have more we must keep more’. So, if you hold on to what you have, and you’ll have more. Makes sense, right? However, hoarding our finances only makes us emptier inside as a result. In fact, the more generous we are the more enriched our lives will be. It’s a paradox. On paper, that doesn’t seem to add up. But you’ve heard the expression “It’s more blessed to give than to receive.” That’s because the more you hold your hand closed, the more it slips through your fingers. If keep your hand open, you’re probably going to find that there will be enough left in your hand to meet your needs. Try that with sand sometime and you’ll see how this works. Do you remember teaching your children to share with others? Did we as adults forgot that lesson ourselves? At some point in our lives, we’ve all been on the receiving end someone else’s generosity. Perhaps we should find out how blessed we’d be if we were the ones doing the giving. Comment here.

Crunching the Numbers
2009-01-29 09:27:00
Here today, gone tomorrow. That’s a fair description of our finances. You bring your check home and it’s gone within a day or two. You know money doesn’t grow on trees. But have you ever thought that even if it did the wind would quickly blow it away anyway. Do you get frustrated by how fast your money goes? Do you worry about money all the time? You’ve done the math. Having more month than money doesn’t add up and yet here you are. You’re still making it. You’re still getting by. So be smart. Have a plan. Work hard. Sleep well. And don’t fret about money. Comment here.

Financial Freedom?
2009-01-28 12:02:00
Climbing the financial ladder has driven many people to lose their perspective. Have you ever asked yourself the following questions? How much money do I really need? Do I need to take another run? Do I really need to get to my destination that quickly? How hard should I push myself to make more money? How much money is enough? Learning to be satisfied with your income is a process. The journey often begins with curbing spending, moves thru being satisfied with what you have, and then ultimately realizing that those who have more money aren’t more satisfied with their life anyway. Having more is overrated. Besides it’s not what you have that matters is life, it’s what has you. Be careful. More money or more possessions can end up becoming a master that enslaves you.

True Worth
2009-01-27 07:56:00
Financial troubles have a way of reminding us of what’s most important in life. Have you noticed that? No matter how little money you might have right now, you have a lot to be grateful for: a family, decent health, a job, friends and a free country. Unfortunately, wealth in our society is often measured merely in terms of money alone. Yet true wealth is so much more. The key is your focus. Are you focusing on the lack of money you have or on the amount of good things in your life that are worth more than money can buy? Comment here.

Dollars and Sense
2009-01-26 08:40:00
A money pit is something that always demands more money to be fixed or repaired. It can be a home, a truck, a business, a hobby (or a college student). Throwing more money at it seems pointless, because it’s never enough. There always seems to be something else a money pit needs: a furnace, a well, a water pump, a transmission, etc. It’s a black hole. Money pits will never be filled with more money. Instead they need to be filled with something else - common sense and self-discipline. Perhaps you need to think more carefully before you make a purchase to begin with. Maybe it’s time to consider unloading your money pit and cut your losses while you still have some money left. Comment here.
