Here's one more yummy soup to add to your recipe binder. My daughter loved this so much that she claimed the leftovers for her school lunch.

Italian Sausage, White Bean, and Kale Soup. 2 Tbsp olive oil. 1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed. 1 yellow onion, diced. ¾ cup shredded carrot. 3-4 garlic cloves, minced. 6 cups chicke

A side hustle is an important tool for growing wealth. A side hustle is anything you do to make money that’s outside of your normal job. Side hustles are important for two reasons. The first is obvious, extra income. Clearly extra income will help you on your journey to wealth, assuming you use that extra income to build wealth and not increase your lifestyle.

Sustainability is the process of adopting a sustainable lifestyle that ensures the conservation and security of the Earth’s natural resources. Scientists are warning that humans are depleting these resources at an alarmingly fast rate, one that outstrips the planet’s ability to renew them. The sustainability philosophy is that we must not fill our own current needs at the expense of the needs of future generations.

You work all your life and dream of the day you will retire. You envision living life like never before, but there is a chance that you will not be as happy and content in retirement as you think. Sometimes the reality of retirement turns out to be a big disappointment in spite of your careful planning. Perhaps you believed that having a large bank account was the key to a happy retirement, but wealth does not necessarily guarantee happiness.
