Save For A Non-Rainy Day

Posted in Uncategorized at 3:25 pm by Charlene

I am all for saving for a catastrophe, but I prefer to save for a luxury. This way, you have something to look forward to; there is an end goal in sight. So, for the rest of this year, I will be scrimping and saving to treat myself to something fabulous. Here is my list so far. No worries; more will be added to it later, for sure!

  • It is definitely time for me to update my bathroom appliances. The outdated ones I have now hit their peak in the 1970s. ’nuff said. I’m thinking one of those shiny new Grohe faucets.
  • Do I need a new wardrobe…no. Do I want one…yes!
  • A small trip perhaps. The tricky part is saving enough money; they fun part is picking where to go!
  •  Get my hair done. I’m thinking something spicy and tres svelte! :)

Looking For A New Job?

Posted in Uncategorized at 2:19 pm by Charlene

If you are wanting to get off your current career track and start something new and fresh, you have many options. Here are just a few jobs to consider that are great for any age to begin down its path:

  •  Teacher: This is one of those careers that is incredibly fulfilling, but only if you like teaching. I definitely would not recommend switching to this job if you abhor teaching. Also, if you don’t already have your certification, you’ll need to go back to school to get that; and then you are set.
  • Personal Trainer: If you are in shape or know a lot about fitness, it is never too late to start your career getting others healthy. Just think; if you are older and become a trainer, how much more inspirational are you to other people, right?!
  • Truck Driver: Being out on the open road is great for any age. CDL truck driving jobs are available across the entire United States. It is great for those who a change of scenery every day.
  • Writer:This encompasses many options, including freelance, writing novels, poems, academic writing, or business writing. If you like writing, you can find the right niche.
