Early Retirement

When I was still working I wanted to save money so when I reached forty I will be able to retire early and start up a business of my choice. It did materialize that when I reached forty I resigned from my job and planned on putting up a business. But I wasn’t able to save enough money for the business that I want instead I maintained four blog sites which I used to write paid ads and gave me enough earnings to help my husband in our family finances. I had some separation pay of course but I opt to keep some of it as savings for future needs. I also don’t have the time to manage my business because I prioritized adding sites for more income.

Now I’m thinking of working up a plan of investment that will not cost me time and effort to maintain. My friends wanted to buy gold coins to make a sure investment of their hard-earned money because they’re very positive about the returns of their capital in the coming years. They told me about it but for me things like that should need careful planning because it involves a great amount of money. Investment is a good way of making your money grow so whatever it is you’re planning about just make sure that it’s a tangible one.

Ready for the Rainy Season

We had our gutter system, roofing and ceiling repaired last week. I was relieved that we had it fixed last week before the heavy rains of this season poured down quite hard in the past days. It’s important to have a maintenance on most parts of the house because it will pose more dangers if we just take for granted the broken or malfunctioning parts of the house. The house is 35 years old from its general renovation last 1975 and in fair jurisdiction it’s more durable and stronger than any of the houses near us.

We also have our windows and doors checked by our carpenter because our glasses and our front door knob has retired already. Since our door was an antique kind I’ve chosen a beautiful door knob that’s not too gold or too silver in color. I’ve chosen the one which resembles our old one because I wanted to maintain the elegant look of the door. Now even if it keep on raining I’m confident that we have checked almost all things that can be affected by the rainy season. I have no fears and worries now as I’m loving the coolness of rainy season.
