The Week That Was!

This time of the year is best spent with family. Around this time of the year is when most of us start making resolutions for the upcoming year. We keep up with it or not is another matter altogether.





Classical Stretch
I have shared about Classical Stretch DVD by Miranda Esmonda-White. I did with some regularity for a while but doing the same routines got boring and turning on the DVD at a certain time all needed extra resolve. It is much more easier to turn on the TV and follow along at a certain time of the day everyday. It is on Maryland Public Television at 7:00AM everyday. Breaking the monotony of the same routines from the DVD these are different workouts everyday. I try to do the stretches and it has help loosen up my muscles. If you are looking for a low impact and a effective way of loosening up or having a regular stretching schedule this might be something you want to look up. It is telecast on a lot of public television stations around the country there should be some station carrying it wherever you are.


Maryland Farm and Harvest
The other show that I try to watch and if I miss an episode I usually catch it online is the Maryland Farm and Harvest show. Watching the greenery that is the object of the show is not only soothing but very uplifting. I bet it is not just me but most people. I know first that growing food is a hard and back breaking without the economic benefits of many other professions. If you get a chance watch the show or catch it online. Also resolve to get to know your farmer better this year. You won't be disappointed and your health and body will thank you.

So last week being Christmas, the young one in the family got themselves each a gift. We are not into Christmas gift giving since we don't celebrate the holiday but who does not like getting gifts.

Books for Kids (not so young)
Elements Of Investing
If you have a high school aged kid who is interested in making money and learning about investing in the stock market, this might be the book you would want them to read. DD2 is into investing and this was a perfect for her. I am hoping she will read this book and make wise decisions while investing her money. Starting them early and teaching how to save and invest is probably essential to make them money wise and also to make them realize how hard it is to make money.

Your Money Or Your Life
This book is for late teen or young adult who has started making money on their own. Every body wants to achieve financial independence at an young age so that your life does not end up being a series of jobs that you do and live paycheck to paycheck, not really enjoying what you do. Start thinking about how you want to achieve financial independence as early as possible.
