“Live Real, Now posts The Happy Challenge saying “”Here is my challenge to you: For the next 21 days, write down 3 thing you are grateful for. What makes you happy? It’s okay if it’s hard. If it’s hard for you, you need it more than most.
Now, the truly hard part:”"”
Prairie Eco Thrifter posts 7 Reasons Why Failure Is a Good Thing saying “Don’t view failure as bad luck, instead look at each attempt to reach your goals as a triumph. There’s always something to learn, ways to grow, different viewpoints to see, and new opportunities waiting just around the corner.”
Brip Blap posts So It Goes saying ” I’m going to make an attempt to write more about health on this blog, and the effect of health on (and against) gaining financial independence. I was an exceptionally healthy guy who’s now slid into, well, unhealthiness, even while doing well financially. I’m going to write more about getting healthy again and how that affects finances.”
The College Investor posts Transitioning to a Green Household saying “Now that we are migrating into a more “green” society, it is becoming easier to switch to a green household where you are being more eco-conscious in your daily life. Switching to green can also create extra savings each month in homes everywhere.”
Little House in the Valley posts How Much Crime Is in Your Neighborhood? saying “My search continues for a place to settle down permanently and purchase a home. Due to jobs, traffic, and climate, my goal is to stay in California. California is a large state and thankfully much of it has awesome weather. However, in narrowing down towns I’m unfamiliar with, I not only look at housing prices, but crime rates. Higher crime usually equals lower property prices so I can’t get too excited when I see homes for under $300,000 – it could mean it’s in the ‘hood.”
Musings of an Abstract Aucklander posts Living in NZ: The ultimate post saying “I outline some of the key elements of life in New Zealand.”

Prairie Eco Thrifter posts 6 Proven Tips for How to Get More Sleep saying “Lack of sleep can have far-reaching health implications as well as being annoying and leaving you tired for the next day. For years, I had issues sleeping. If I got more than 4 hours a night I was doing good. Something had to be done.”
Beating Broke posts Fast Food: Get What You Pay For? saying “Having spent $40 on food, and only getting half the order right, I was a bit upset. But, then I got to thinking, did I get what I paid for? Well, in a more philosophical sense, not in a precise sense. Set aside the healthy-ness concerns of fast food. When it’s all said and done, should we expect that our orders won’t be right, the food won’t look like it does on the menu, and that we are just a dollar bill passing through to be collected and sent on our way? Just how much should we expect from our fast food exchanges?”
“My Multiple Incomes posts The Importance of a Schedule and Time Management saying “”However, because I take the time to plan and organize, I can usually squeeze everything in that I need to in a day, and still have free time to hang out with my family and walk the dog.
Here are some of my scheduling tips that you may find useful. I’d love to hear your’s if you have them!”"”
Mom’s Plans posts A Recap of the Nourished Food Blogger Conference saying “I had the pleasure of attending the Nourish Food Blogger Conference last Friday. Nourished is a food blogging conference that caters to those who are gluten free or have other food sensitivities. I did not know what to expect from this conference, but since it was literally less than a half hour drive from my house, I decided I should go, and I am so glad that I did.”
Prairie Eco Thrifter posts The 5 Dimensions of a Meaningful Life saying “Many people chase monetary wealth, possessions and success to try and give their lives meaning. The accumulation of ‘things’ may bring happiness and satisfaction for a while but this feeling tends to be only fleeting. Much has been written on this subject and many authors agree that there are five dimensions that make up a meaningful life. When these become an integral part of life, we will start to experience more happiness and satisfaction than ever before.”
Blue Collar Workman posts Being on the Road All Day saying “When you’re on the road all day driving, rush hour traffic can really be frustrating… and it’s even worse when people do illegal things!”
