Are You Spending Your Money Foolishly? (Part 2)

Are you spending your money foolishly? If not, what are you waiting for? Sure, Paris isn’t going anywhere, but if you keep putting it off, you’ll be one-year older this time next year. Read my piece from Friday on Paris.

Thinking about taking that bucket list trip and actually doing it are two different matters. There are plenty of obstacles keeping you from taking action, like sending in the deposit. Your retirement life is a precious time, and it can also be terrifying when you take that great leap from having a paycheck to living off your savings.

But that’s why you saved ‘til it hurt so you could use that money to treat yourself on occasion. Believe me when I tell you there is nothing like walking the streets of Paris and stepping inside a brasserie for a late lunch and watching life pass you by. It is one of life’s great pleasures.

Action Line: May is a great time to be in Paris. Make it happen. Need help? Email me at ejsmith@yoursurvivalguy.com.
