Refund Check

Okay, I know I'm not the only one sitting with a refund check who's not sure what to do with it. My first thought is to go on a vaca but I really gotta think about this. Whatever it is - clothes, vacation, etc. - I want to make sure its an investment. Years ago, I blew it off. I went to dinner, got a table at a club and less than 24 hours after getting my check, it was gone. I had nothing to show for it! I have a couple options here, and all of them are different so I’m not too sure which way to go.

Cash is King!

I'm tired of hearing that times are hard. Cause if you think something is hard then that's what it'll be - hard. I know it sounds a little too positive for some people, but focusing on what's wrong is not going to get you anywhere promising. So why not try something new? I'm going to start saying that things are changing and that right now they’re changing for the better. It’s just up to me to make the right changes to set me up for my future. Isn’t that what we all work so hard for? To chill out on an island somewhere sipping Mai Tais when we’re in our 50s?
