Food is art, as any munchkin worth his salt nose. Do tell about your sandwich decorating techniques! And remember that "we do it the old fashioned way, we earn it" is a good way to go too. Saving up your pennies isnt just for a rainy day. Brown baggin it could be a great way to sock away enough "eating out" money over time to pay your own way for a week or two. Eat in at the office three times a week and cut out one dinner out a week and you could divert from $30 to $50 a week to a Paris fund. In 50 weeks (one year) you could have between $1,500 to $2,500. And you could spend the extra time pouring over travel brochures instead of local restaurant menus. Time and money do add up. Paying your own way has its own rewards . . . hones your skills at turning goals into reality, and teaches your kids (if you have them) not to give up on their dreams and to attain their goals. How often do they get to see their parents doing what they love and how often do parents get to teach their kids by example what it means to live an extraordinary life? Setting and reaching your personal goals empowers them how to set and reach their own, as well as giving them realistic expectations of the tradeoffs and sacrifices needed to do it. . . . Just a few thoughts to digest . . . Al
