When I talk to people they tell me they never see the sales that I see. I tell them you just have to look and don't be afraid to step up and ask. This week I was in San Francisco visiting my husband he is out there for work. He has a cute apartment but the one item he wanted was a couple of chairs. We didn't want to go buy more stuff that we will need to get rid of when he is done so we waited on the chairs. I stayed at the apartment one morning while he was working and I looked outside as the neighbor was putting four beautiful chairs on the sidewalk. I ran down and asked her if I could have the chairs she smiled and said they are all yours. I did have to carry each chair up three flights of stairs - cardio for the day but was my husband surprised when he came home. Just goes to show you that you never know when a deal is going to come your way.

At the beginning of every year I stress now is the time to get yourself Financially Fit! We all vow to lose weight and become healthier but getting our finances fit should be a major concern to your well-being. Some financial facts that the government has tallied are frightening. The United States has the lowest national savings rate in the industrialized world. The average family saw its credit card debt grow by 53 percent during the 1990s. In 2006, 617,660 Americans filed for bankruptcy. These are some facts that get me worried. Let’s start 2012 off by being responsible for our money. Take the time by setting up a budget. Know how much money is coming in and how much is going out. For many people this can be an overwhelming task, ask a friend. Sit down with a friend who will have a nonobjective viewpoint to help you bring your debt down. Start by getting yourself prepare for anything that comes your way. Each month do a couple of tasks to bring you closer to become Financially Fit!
