Some days I feel as if I am being bombarded by stimuli trying to gain my attention. I used to be concerned that I might not be responding to the right stimuli and, therefore, not learning my lessons. However, I now believe that the bombardment itself is an ongoing lesson ~ which stimuli will I respond to for lesson learning, knowing, at the same time, that whatever stimuli I do select will be part of my lesson learning.

One day last week I was feeling very low and decided it was a real crappy day all around (Since Buema is writing this for me, she will clean up how I actually said it!). Without going into all the details, I’ll just tell you my day’s finale.

Another of the major components in life is dealing with money. Few of us can ignore the need to manage it and although it generally doesn’t take a lot of weekly time to do so, not doing so can cause a lot of headaches later on.

So what am I expecting to accomplish here? First, I want to maintain the family’s finances in the most efficient way possible and secondly I want to increase my financial abundance through pursuing wise investments. With my outcomes defined I came up with the humorous (and hopefully accurate) title of Financial Wizard. I chose as my role model Peter Lynch with his successful at Fidelity. I pulled a couple of quotes from him as well: “Stop listening to professionals. Invest in companies, not to stock market.” And I use that advice in my pursuit of investments.
