Educated women

I have some new women friends, who have their own families and their own educations and interesting jobs. Thank you Jesus, Thank you God. Finally I have some friends that I can relate to. Who are not expecting me to take care of them, or their kids. And these new friends are interesting, they are not boring me to death. I feel my life will be much richer and I will be spending much less money to be happy. I am so tired of those neurotic societies I was stuck in. I am never doing that again, I am never going to compromise with boredom. I wasted so much of my life. I don't know how this happened but it did and I feel I have the next half of my life to enjoy.

Natural gas

Today I took the free pass from the library and went downtown to the art museum. Had an enjoyable visit and then stopped in at Starbucks for coffee and banana bread. Looking out the window I saw so many interesting people. There is a lot of success in downtown Portland and I was inspired. I plan on going down there to write more often. I spent $3 for parking and $4 at Starbucks. I think I'll spend about $150-170 on coffee etc but I am saving on groceries. I don't think I'll go to the store again until Friday. Today I sent another $100 to TDameritrade. I want to trade Chesapeake Energy. I think you go in when the weather is hot, and get out when its cold. Its an easy 40-50% profit in 4-6 months. Not bad. And my writing is inspiring me. I like looking at interesting people.

More motivation

I have really been motivated by www.pr.com Just reading the stories of businesses that are successful inspires me. I think by being motivated, and also by shopping at a variety of stores, not only New Seasons, I can save about $25 a week on groceries. When I'm bored I go to the store or to "walk at the Mall". Although walking at the mall can be good exercise, I'm often tempted to buy something. My goal is to pay off my credit cards this year and next year to consider buying some real estate education. Even if I don't use the education as a career, it helps me to know how business works and this helps my investing. I'm watch Chesapeake Energy as a possible trade to go in during the slower summer months and then get out in the higher winter months. It is definitely on my watch list.

All about business

I've started taking workshops through SCORE. The "100 Ways to Market your Business" was very interesting and motivating. I find that information, especially business information, really motivates me to save money for investments. The classes are exciting and help me dream of future possibilities. One of the things I'm thinking about is writing ebooks on saving money and frugality. Another thing I'm thinking about doing is getting my real estate license so I can do wholesaling deals. Even if I don't do anything, I'm able to invest more as I'm more focused. A great website is voiceamerica and their business radio. Also www.pr.com is another good website that I learned about in the workshop. I realize most people don't really make money at what they do, they just break even. I want to make money and grow my wealth through saving and positive investments.
