Financial Wellbeing

I am always interested in getting things organized. Starting with the house, and some spring cleaning; then moving on to finances, and what makes sense; and then moving on to your mind. Or tackling whichever, whenever you can.

Lately there are tons of offers out for a myriad of financial benefits and services. They can be confusing. We recently signed up for a cell phone plan and with all the hidden costs and charges, it put both of us in a mood for a few days. A and I certainly discuss all the costs and benefits involved with financial promotions and planning. So far we agree on a bunch of things:

* Savings and IRAs/SEPs as a priority. Dave Ramsey has a simple structure to follow for baby steps towards financial peace. See where you fall on the ladder.

* Better Alternatives to those so-called deals being tossed around lately

* Most of the ideas presented in Rich Dad's Conspiracy of the Rich. The more you know, the more you realize to trust yourself among all others. Why pay for others to gamble with your money!?

* The tips presented in Suze Orman's the Laws of Money, the Lessons of Life - especially as to the life lessons as well!
