Drive-thru or park?

Here’s a debate for you to think about; parking your vehicle or using the drive-thru. Drive-thru’s were designed to keep the busy person moving along. To a lot of people, taking the drive-thru means we save time from getting out of our vehicle. But really, does it save us that much time? We have so…



Parking lot risks

How many times have you done something without thinking it through? One hundred times? One thousand times? More than that? We’re in such a hurry these days that we tend to run into the store to grab a few groceries and then hurry home. We often don’t think things through well enough. The only problem…



Have you been left in the dark?

Every now and then I’ve been told that I’m a little in the dark when it comes to new technology. I’m glad we have DVD players because my old VCR would still be flashing 12:00. I could never figure that out. I may be in the dark for things like that, but I’m a lot…

Are we there yet?

I was recently chatting with a co-worker who had gone away for the long weekend with his kids. They had a long drive ahead of them as they were visiting family hours away. On their way home, he heard the famous words from one of his kids; “Are we there yet?” How many times have…



Does this make cents?

I’m in the process of teaching my kids how to save their money. I want them to have spending money, but I also want them to understand how to save for bigger items. Saving money can be difficult for many people. One of the best lessons in business is if you want to increase your…
