Are You Managing or Being Managed? ©2015 Joan M. Newcomb



Today I heard a talk by a young man who related getting out of $60,000 debt. By making different choices than his peers, he was able to accumulated a healthy savings allowing him the freedom to do what he loved for a living.



He said, "If you don't manage your money and your possessions, your money and your possessions manage you."

I woke up last night to my husband worrying about the 700 people who died in the Middle East and a fatal accident in Seattle. I immediately jumped to the solution, which wasn't helpful.

September in the Pacific Northwest means the clouds roll in and don't leave until July. That's not entirely true with global warming/climate change, but we still have more than our fair share of gloomy days.  Seattleites don't tan, they rust.
