Some thoughts about turning 40 in a few short months
Time flies doesn't it? Wow 40 years of my life lived. (almost) My cousin Brian always heralds a new year just 3 short months before I get there. It has been a fun ride so far, and I'm looking at enjoying several more years.
In order to do that, and perhaps with even more "zest" and "zeal" than I have had for the first 40 years of my life, I propose to dedicate the next 5 years following some "Dave Ramsey" advise.
He advises folks seeking financial freedom: "Live like no one else, Later you can live like no one else. "
With that advise ringing in my ears, here are a few guide lines I'm going to post, that I feel will help me get to where I'd like to be In 5 years.
Guide lines to live by till aug 5 2016
1. I don't spend money, I make money. Or, I only spend money on Needs, and Investments.
2. I eat to live, not live to eat.
3. I do something every day to stay in shape.
4. Live righteously.
To go along with that, I'm going to take advantage of the technology of the day. I have to admit, I am thrilled by you tube, and social networks. I remember WAY BACK in the early days of the internet, how exiting it was to think that I could post something on a web page, and any one that had access to the Internet could instantly read it! That kind of communication was and is revolutionary.
Today we have you tube, which fascinates me. I have stood on the side lines, and watched. I posted a few home videos to see how it worked, but I want to get more involved. So, over the next while, I'll be working on getting the following "Channels" going.

Wish me luck, it's gonna be a fun ride.

Good luck, Brother! And Happy Early Birthday to you. FORTY!!! Yeah, you better start celebrating now. heheh.
I like your goals, and hope you can really incorporate them. Like your "eat to live" goal, I would make one up for myself that is something like "I sleep to live. And I should sleep, so I can live." :) Brian could use that one to. heeheh.
Love ya!
Good luck to you in all your endeavors. Sounds like a great 5 years.
sounds great! And congrast on making it to "almost" 40! YIKES!!!! ;)
Wow--to think that I have a SON that's about 40, sounds Extraordinarily STRANGE and UNREAL to me, cause it seems to me like 'I'M' just in MY FORTIES!!! I guess it feels that way to LOTS of Moms....
But since I DO have a son who's about 40, I will tell you this, Wade--What at WONDERFUL son you are!! You're always so very thoughtful and kind and loving--and we really appreciate your good ways. I like your plans for the next five years, and will continue to 'laud your praises' as you accomplish your goals. lots of Love to you--from your Mom
In the words of Muhammed Ali: "I hated every minute of training. But I said, 'Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.'"
Happy 40th, Wade!
