A reminder

Trouble greets us all, but problems always seem to have a way to work themselves out, and we usually find afterward that we've grown from our struggles.

And despite our problems and annoying setbacks,every day of our lives is filled with countless blessings.

If you ever doubt it, just take a look around at the beautiful world we live in

CURB SPENDING

To curb ego-driven spending and better manage monthly budgets and income, individuals can take 10 proactive steps: 1. Create a Budget: Start by outlining monthly expenses and income.
