5 Most Common Retiree Money Mistakes

They call it your golden years for a reason: because you’re in the money! At least, you will be if you spent a lifetime contributing to social security, a 401K, and other lucrative investments. In truth, it is a golden opportunity to finally get around to all the things you wanted to do (but didn’t have time for). You now enjoy the freedom to travel, volunteer, or simply sleep in for a change.

Are You Financially Ready to Have Kids?

Perhaps a better question is: will you ever be ready? Kids are expensive, in case you didn’t know. Statistics keep changing, but people generally seem to agree that the cost of raising a child to the age of 18 is approximately $200,000. Ouch! And that’s before they even go to college (or continue to live on your couch rent-free…well, don’t worry about that yet). The point is, most people who plan to have a child (or several) don’t have that many Gs on reserve. Does that mean they shouldn’t start trying to conceive?

There’s Nothing Like Family Time! #10WeeksB4Xmas

Earlier this week I came up with the idea of being more giving this holiday season, and what better way than by doing a giveaway every Friday for 10 weeks. I am calling it #10Weeks B4Xmas! I know not everyone celebrates Christmas, so for everyone that doesn’t celebrate Christmas, think of it as #10WeeksB4Holidays.

20 Minutes on the Treadmill is All You Need

A few years ago I posted this post: 20 Minutes to a Great Bod, at that time I was really into fitness and keeping my body weight constant. I slacked off for about a year and then got back to it again this year and I couldn’t be any happier. I am not a runner/jogger, I find it boring, annoying and pointless to run on a treadmill straight for 30-60 minutes. However, after I found this great workout by FitnessMagazine.com I found a new love for the treadmill.
