    REBOOT

    ByMichael

    Ever get STRESSED about life and how you are going to accomplish everything you have to accomplish? Trying to live the Financial Olympian™ Creed and feeling maxed out financially? Wondering how you are going to accomplish EVERYTHING?

    We all go through the peaks and valleys of life, even the “Super Friend” you have on Facebook. You know the one, new travel spots every weekend, a new car they won at an auction or maybe it’s all the baby or grandbaby pictures trolling through your feed. Even these people have stress and struggle.

    Total Disconnect Three Day Weekend

    ByMichael

    Labor Day was originally a day organized by the unions to honor the American labor movement. Now, 129 years later, Labor Day in the United States is a public holiday celebrated on the first Monday in September. It is the Monday of the long weekend known as Labor Day Weekend and it is considered the unofficial end of summer.

    Long weekends have turned into vacation weekends or travel weekends. If you are a select soccer or volleyball parent, these have become weekends full of tournaments and travel. What if we proposed this weekend to be “Total Disconnect Weekend”?

    This Class Should be MANDATORY

    ByMichael

    The Core Classes – English, Math, Science and History

    These core classes in high school are supposed to either prepare you for college or life after high school.

    As a college educated person, these core classes prepare you to have a wide knowledge base in addition to understanding the world at a very high level in your chosen field but also at a substantial level in other disciplines. The way in which a chemist describes the world is going to be very different than the way an English major or a Sociology major does. Being exposed to these “other” areas is thus part of the intellectual growth of going to college.

    In my opinion, today’s education is missing the most important core class.

    Is College Still Worth It?

    ByMichael

    Just two weeks.

    That is all you have left until they leave. You have thought about this for 18 years. Sending your son or daughter to college. You saved and planned for the cost and now the day has come when it is time to walk back to the car and make the drive home after moving them into the beginning of their next step in life.

    No, they will not be there magically as if it was a dream when you get home.

    This begins a step towards their future life and it is time to let them go.
