Wow – I have to say I’m both addicted to (writes the addiction counselor & money coach) and repelled by all the election noise. What are we going to do when it’s over?

These days, I miss my father in law, Stan. He was a conservative Republican and we used to have great respectful “discussions” about politics. I wonder what he would think of Trump. I know what he’d think of Hillary. I’m with Hillary and not because she’s the lesser of 2 evils. I support your right to vote for who you believe best represents you. Enough said.

As some of you will remember, Dave, my husband, retired last November. He LOVES retirement!! I’m thrilled because he’s happy. Also, he cooks most nights and appears to enjoy domesticity – he just got back from Costco! Yeah Dave!

Become Happier, Healthier & Wealthier with the Power of Affirmations!!
Happiness and Financial well-being have been a study of mine for 20+ years. I see so many that are STRESSED, haven’t planned well and are struggling through their 50s and 60s rather than ENJOYING their lives.

Would your life satisfaction double if you made $55,000 a year vs. $25,000 a year?" Most people say yes.
But, research shows that those making twice as much money - 55K vs. 25K - were only 9% more satisfied than those making $25,000.
Happy Money's research also shows that once you're making about $75,000 a year, more money has NO IMPACT on day-to-day feelings of happiness.

Time is money. We women in business WASTE  a lot of time and that costs us money.  What are time wasters? To put it bluntly – anything that isn’t  making you money or leading to making money. 

I hate to say this, but one of the biggest TIME WASTERS is  SOCIAL MEDIA!!  We love Facebook, Pinterest, LinkedIN, etc., But have you ever tracked how much you time you spend/waste on it each day? Scary...
