Rules of the Road
Welcome to my Blog. Being a financial planner the thrust of my Blog will be focused on finance and planning and how that affects our every day decisions and lives. As adults every decision we make seems to have a financial component to it.

Friday's Thought - As We Approach Easter
Things we can learn from the Easter Bunny:
 
There's no such thing as too much candy.
All work and no play can make you a basket case.
A cute little tail attracts a lot of attention.
Everyone is entitled to a bad hare day.
Let happy thoughts multiply like rabbits.
Some body parts should be floppy.
Keep your paws off other people's jellybeans.
Good things come in small sugarcoated packages.
The grass is always greener in someone else's basket.
An Easter bonnet can tame even the wildest hare.
To show your true colors you have to come out of your shell.
The best things in life are still sweet and gooey.

Friday's Irish Blessing
May you have the hindsight to know where you've been,
The foresight to know where you are going,
And the insight to know when you have gone too far.

Kid’s clothes fall into this category also. You buy the stuff on sale this year in anticipation that next winter your little one will fit into the bargain snowsuit. Sometimes its works, but many of us have brand new clothes our kids have neverworn.
