Money Comes, Money Goes

man oh man let me tell you guys! I work full time just to get by but somehow by the 2nd week my money is either low or gone! I noticed for me i spend almost $300 every two weeks which is why I'm investing in a NEW fuel efficient car in about a month! so this got me thinking. Yes we work to get by but it goes SO QUICK! so what should we be doing with our money? Here is my top 5 that fits me :)

1- PAY YOUR BILLS
Make sure your making credit card payments, gas card, insurance, anything that is mandatory, take care of it! so much easier in the long run.

2- PERSONAL NECESSITIES
For me that is things like books for school, work clothes, things that I personally need to get by each day with out minor glitches.

3- INVEST INVEST INVEST
Stocks are things most people don't think about but we should! we could make a lot of money overtime that could be extra income. Also, cars are a big investment. Make sure you choose wisely!!!


lets try to save our money or at least make more in the process :)

SPARKS!

So by now we all know how it feels to meet someone, fall in and out of love, have our heart broken, learn lessons the hard and easy way. We have experienced it all. But how do we keep the spark?! My ideas!

-Don't nag. see the bigger picture. Pick and choose your battles careful. How to pay the bills is more important to discuss than "why are you 5 minutes late?"...

-Be yourself from day 1. Feelings and ideas change quickly the second someone finds out you've been deceiving. Nothing sexier than an honest person.

-Keep it fresh! Pizza & movie at home one night, massage day with your honey the next, mini golf the next week! We all like stimulation, so keep it interesting

- Explore new avenues. Include eachother in things you might have done solo normally. Go to gym together or grocery shop! It's the little things that spark our attention.

We all will have our own ideas on what works for us but bottom line, we cannot expect things to change if we don't. A SPARK is very important, creating it isn't the issue but sustaining it is. We can all learn from eachother. Brainstorm. Explore. Be creative. KEEP IT SPARK-TASTIC :)
