During any Recession you should turn to Rice

Dear Reader,

While many people have been struggling. I have been doing just fine. I was not caught up in the housing bubble. I don't have a mortgage that is too big to pay, or securities in my portfolio that have become worthless. I have taken many steps to insure I have plenty of money in the months to come. One of these steps is eating more rice for many reason but mainly because rice is one of the most inexpensive foods that can be found.

I have friends who spend twenty dollars a day on food, not me! With 20 dollars I can buy a 10 lb bag or rice and eat good for 2 weeks. Of course I don't eat just rice I usually add in lots of vegetables and a little bit of fish. All these ingredients can be brought cheaply at Walmart, Safeway, Krogers or even online. Remember when you get fast food you are only full for one meal but when you buy rice you are full for many meals.

Be an Ant not a grasshopper

Dear Reader


When I was younger, I used to go out and party all the time. I would work hard all week for a few dollars and then when the weekend rolled around I would spend most of it on foolish thing that brought nothing of value to my life. Now that I am older and wiser, I have decided to stop partying and start saving my money. Instead of going out to drink with my buddies I stay in my house and watch movies on netflix. If I do go out I go to a bar or pub with a happy hour. I rarely ever buy drinks I feel insulted paying for over priced drinks. I feel more like an Ant these days all I do is work and save for the future.

The ant is a wise creature it stores food for the winter in the summer because it knows it would face death if it isn't prepared. I wish more people would take this philosophy. We have all heard of the stories of people who have gone bankrupt because of unexpected emergencies in their lives. So from now on be an ant not a grasshopper. Consume as little as possible and save to the max so when hard times fall you are ready. You should have at least a year's worth of living expenses saved up and a bunch of food and water stocked up in your basement or bedroom.

Sincerely,

Stop worrying about what other people think about you

Dear Reader,

In today's modern world to many people worry about what other people think of them. For example, people are always following clothing trends. As soon as a big female celebrity wears a dress on a nationally televised event, a flock of her fans go into stores to purchase the dress. A month later this celebrity is wearing another dress and the cycle continues. The only real difference is the celebrity is being paid to wear these dresses by a clothing company while her fans are spending their own money to make the clothing companies rich. Instead of wasting time following other people try to become more independent, live life how you want to not how somebody else want you to. You want be super popular but at least you will be happy and more likely to be financially stable.

The Best Invesment you can make is in your health

Dear Reader,

There is no better investment you can make than an investment in your health. Without good health you will not enjoy all that life has to offer. This is why I advocate that you buy natural and unprocessed foods, even if they are more expensive than junk food. If you have to pay more money for these foods do so. By doing this you will help make sure that you stay healthier for longer periods of time. Many people spend thousands of dollars a year on diseases that can be prevented with a better diet. Don't become one of these people, do whatever you can to educate yourself about healthy living. One step you can do right away is to eat more fruits and vegetables.

Sincerely,
