Happy Friday Readers!

I know many of you like me have very busy lives. Cooking everyday can feel like more of a chore than anything else. Did you ever stop to calculate how much money you are spending eating out vs. cooking at home?

I never went to culinary school, so my dishes can often taste very basic. What I have discovered are great recipes that are super easy to make. Trust me, if I can do it so can you.

The other thing to think about is how unhealthy processed and fast food is. To start the path to clean eating is by preparing and planning your meals in advance. The worst way to start cooking at home is by waiting till you get off work. Usually, when I get off all I want to do is go to a drive thru line.

All you have to do is find a good recipe website and there are many out there! I was on a budget this week and I made a super easy dish using chicken thighs. To make this dish healthier, I did not eat the skin. I served it with rice and a salad. Click the link below to try this recipe.

Try this easy dish! Roasted chicken thighs!

Here is the finished product! 🙂

I hope you start thinking about all the money you can save by cooking at home.

Thanks for reading!

Hello Readers!

The 50th annv. of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech was this week. I hope you all take some to read or listen to it.

My dream is to become financially independent. Expecting one job to take care of me for the rest of my life is unrealistic. You should join the conversation on ways to build wealth.

Comment or email me your questions. Let’s start building a stronger tomorrow today!

It’s a New Year and It’s Time for Change!

Happy New Years All!

“Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.” – Maria Robinson

Change starts with making a list of what you’re financial goals are. Experts suggest that you start small and make sure your goals are manageable. It is also important to determine what your needs are vs. wants?

I also suggest buying a calendar, so you can track your goals. Do you want to save money for a wedding, house, kids, or retirement? The path to financial freedom is easier when you can see your destination. Divide the goals in to weekly or monthly milestones and don’t forget to reward yourself for your hard work! It will be challenging at first, but don’t give up. The end result will be worth in the end.

Identify an accountability partner. Share your vision with your partner and have that person set a calendar reminder to keep you on track. Teamwork makes the dream work! If you know your weakness is spending money on careless things, make sure your partner is aware of what that is. It is important to start new habits and break the bad ones that are holding you back.

2012 is over and now we are in 2013! Don’t get frustrated, because this site is here to help you create a plan to start building wealth. If you don’t start now, then when?

Email starttodaymoneytomorrow@gmail.com your list of financial goals and I can help you achieve them! The best investment you will ever make is yourself!
