What is Robbing You of Happiness?

There are many things out in life that can rob us of happiness and being satisfied with what we have. You usually only consider yourself lacking, if someone else tells you that you are. For example, in generations past, there was no such thing as a smart phone, yet ask any tween around who will tell you that he or she can’t survive without one. I’ve been guilting of unhappiness due to my perceived lack of stuff. It is insane really. My family has adequate food, clothing and shelter, and yet I would focus on the fact that another family … Continue reading →

Which Debt Reduction Strategy is Right for You?

You are committed to doing whatever it takes to get out of debt and remove financial worries from your life.

La La La I’m Not Listening …. Your Unwanted Advice on My Pregnancy

If it seems like the moment that you announced your pregnancy (or your growing belly announced it for you) coincided with a seemingly unending flow of “advice” from everyone and anyone, you are not alone. For some reason, there is just something about the sight of a pregnant woman that makes people unable to refrain from sharing nuggets of “wisdom” with her even if they have no idea who she is. Of course, pregnancy is not the only time that you will be bombarded with unwanted advice. Just try taking your newborn to the grocery store without a hat on, … Continue reading →

When You’re Ready to Lose the Baby Weight

My baby is 9 months old, and I just recently started a diet. I hate diets. But, I’m motivated to lose that baby weight. In the past, I was motivated a little sooner than 9 months. I guess this time around it took me a little longer to get motivated because of the diet restrictions I had while I was nursing the first 5 months. Being deprived of so many foods was hard for me, so I was in no hurry to deprive myself again. But, as I stepped on the scales, and saw myself in pictures, I realized that … Continue reading →

Life Insurance – You’re Doing it Wrong!

Posted on by

A life insurance policy is designed to provide financial protection to your family after you have passed away. Like other insurance policies, you have to purchase it while you are still alive. A woman in Georgia pretended to be her deceased son, and signed up for a life insurance policy in his name. This woman was doing it wrong! A quick scan through your favorite news website will very likely bring up at least a couple of articles that talk about insurance fraud. It is illegal to commit insurance fraud, no matter what type of insurance is involved. The federal … Continue reading →

Should You Stay or Should You Go When He Cheats

Should You Buy Apple Products?

No, you have not accidentally stumbled upon an Electronics blog. This is still the Green Living blog. So, why am I talking about iPhones, iPads, and iPods? Because if you own an Apple product, you may be unintentionally supporting slavery. Last week, the New York Times ran an article about the abysmal working conditions of electronic manufacturing plants in China. While HP and Dell plants are included, the article focused mainly on Apple. Of course, any company expects its employees to be efficient and productive, but the Foxconn plants, from what I have read, employs modern slavery to please Apple’s … Continue reading →

Sue Your Husband’s Mistress

The Huffington Post published an article interviewing a lawyer who says that it’s possible to sue your husband’s mistress. The charge is alienation of affection and the punishment can be a hefty sum of money. Focus on Who Hurt You This brings me to think about whether this should be in place. I can see why a scorned wife wants to sue the mistress. Many mistresses are conniving and will do whatever it takes to get the man they want. Sometimes, it’s easier to blame someone else for your husband’s affair than him especially when trying to find out why … Continue reading →
