Yes! You've finally saved up a few for that investment you've been meaning to get. You hear many people tell you:
 
"Invest in your future" 
"If you want to be rich - invest" 
"Investing is the financial smart thing to do" 
"Save money for an investment" 

Ok, so now I've got the money. What should I invest on? 

This morning I was desperately craving for cake. It's been a week that I'd been craving for something sweet, but there was none. I was not scheduled to buy anything until the first Wednesday of November. The reason for that is to save money and my post about that can be found here.

So I'm in the living room on the couch with my daughter Haley, eating peanut butter straight out of the jar and it's nearly cleaned off. I'm thinking of what I should cook for lunch maybe I can cut up the piece of chorizo real small and make fried rice. Or I can use the nori seaweed and just make sushi rice. Toss coin. Three more days to go till grocery time.

Beginning of the school quarter I sat down with the kids and wrote out our goals for the year. Two of the goals I wrote was to post a blog 3 x a week and treadmill 3 x a week. How I have failed miserably. I read my children's written goals and they have been doing way better than me. 

Another failed goal that I am about to confess: I am no longer a full-pledged Taumbahay or homebody. I go to the office upto 4 times a week and the kids are starting to complain. They don't feel as homeschooled as they used to. I don't read aloud as much and according to them, I just give assignments and check their work and that's it. 

Everyone must know by now the benefits of reading aloud to children. It promotes family bonding, improves a child's mental well-being and creates a love for reading in kids. 

Children's Books. There's the classic Aesop's Fables, 365 Bedtime Stories, Children's Bible Stories, and many more. I grew up hearing of these books myself. The stories are beautiful and filled with moral lessons that will help in the development of a child's character. 

Character no doubt is important as one grows up into adulthood. So is the subject of money. So why not start reading financial books to your child as early as 3 years old? Surely the effect of that would be interesting.

You know what girls, if the guy you're with right now is really sweet but is kind of a loser - never did well in school, always talks about wonderful ideas but never gets anything done, is always late, never keeps his word, always empty-handed - chances are he will always be really sweet to you.
