Non-Financial Investments For Your Future

Prairie Eco-Thrifter

Last weekend, I woke up with a kink in my neck so bad that I couldn’t move my head at all to the right. It was sending shooting pains down my arm and shoulder. I was pretty much debilitated all day, and couldn’t even sit down and stand up comfortably. I wracked my brain with how I ended up with the kink in my neck and then remembered a conference call during which I had my phone at work resting on my shoulder, instead of using a headset.

Family Balance Sheet

Have you heard people talk about their 'season' of life? "It's the season I'm in right now" can be over-heard from a new mom, to a seasoned mom of teenagers, to an empty-nester. Everyone has a season. It wasn't until I had kids that I heard people talk about their 'season of life'. Although, maybe I was just oblivious to such conversations prior to when mommy brain took over.

Pulled Pork BBQ in the Crock Pot

Family Balance Sheet

I've found that most store-bought BBQ sauces include high fructose corn syrup. Since I try to limit our consumption of HFCS, I prefer to make my own BBQ sauce. I found this recipe years ago on the back of a molasses jar, although, I've altered it slightly. This sauce tasty, super easy, and the ingredients are most likely in your kitchen. And since I only buy ketchup that doesn't include HFCS, this sauce in HFCS-free.

There comes a time at work when you start feeling like you’re worth more than what you currently make. While some just suck it up and perform higher quality work for the same amount of pay, others grab some confidence and ask for a raise. So, if it’s that simple, why isn’t everyone just raking in the dough they deserve?
