food philosophy

My husband and I got married two weeks before we moved to the little island of Grenada for him to start medical school.  Because of college living and the job I had before we got married, I wasn’t in the habit of cooking at all.  I could boil water, you know, but I really didn’t […]

Bees Finance Rules

HERE ARE SOME SIMPLE GUIDELINES THAT WILL HELP YOU BUILD WEALTH:  

PAY OFF HIGH INTEREST DEBT: DON’T CARRY A BALANCE ON YOUR CREDIT CARDS

TAKE WHAT UNCLE SAM GIVES YOU: MAXIMIZE YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS TO TAX ADVANTAGED RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS

DON’T PROCRASTINATE: WEALTH TAKES TIME TO ACCUMULATE, SO DON’T WAIT

SAVE, INVEST AND REINVEST: LET COMPOUNDING WORK FOR YOU. SAVE YOUR MONEY, THEN INVEST AND REINVEST IT

SAVE AND INVEST AT LEAST 5 TO 10%: PUT ASIDE AT LEAST A MINIMUM SO YOU’RE STUCK WHEN YOU’RE AT RETIREMENT AGE

HAVE AN EMERGENCY FUND: IF YOU CAN’T SAVE 6 MONTHS OF EXPENSES, GET AT LEAST $1,000 SAVED UP

OWN: OWNING ASSETS IS GENERALLY TO YOUR ADVANTAGE. GET AS MANY AS YOU REASONABLY CAN

IF YOU ARE MARRIED, BUILD YOUR PARTNERSHIP: HAVING A STRONG MARRIAGE CAN BE AN EXCELLENT ACCELERATOR. WORK ON YOUR MARRIAGE AND CARE FOR YOUR SPOUSE.
