    Seems easy to get informed about your investment holdings. US News and World Reports gave me information on the major holdings of funds in my portfolio.

    Meal planning allows us to minimize our shopping trips, eat healthier, and keep the budget in check. Re-usable shopping bags also keep us from cussing because the bags never break! 
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Energy Adjust the Thermostat
    Your utility company is able to tell you your average energy usage. Ask them how your energy usage compares to others in your ZIP code, region, and/or state. What other steps can you take each day to reduce your electricity usage?

    If you lower your thermostat in the early fall maybe we'll be used to keeping it low all winter?
