When the word "retirement" is uttered, it usually sends some people into a nervous jitter, and others into a confused haze. I fit into the latter category, but neither is very great. Having a solid plan regarding your retirement, and your personal finances in general can you feel more informed and in control of your future. Northern Trust offers personal financial planning services that can help you work through financial decisions and retire the way you want to.
How would I like to retire? I could name a thousand lavish lifestyles, but really I think just enjoying time and traveling a bit would be perfect.
There are some good music festivals happening now and coming up. I'd really like to see some of them, it's just a matter of getting organized and committing! Shouldn't be that hard, I know! You know how it is.
Well as soon as I comment on the nice weather it turns to overcast, gloomy and somewhat humid. I don't think the air quality has been very good for the past few days, I've been meaning to check that. My throat slightly hurts and I've heard others complaining on the same thing, and I think it's due to the environmental causes, not common colds. Hmmm. Well I hope this heavy weather clears up soon.
Take it from someone who knows, the task of moving is one that can turn very quickly into a total disaster, if not carefully planned and prepared for. I've had my fair share of moving nightmares, but luckily thanks to the rise of the internet, there's lots of helpful advice out there that can make moving day a lot smoother. I'm lucky in that I haven't had to make an international move from one country to another, but for those who do, can find free quotes from moving companies, along with other helpful home related information. Good luck!
The weather has been absolutely fantastic the past few days. I've really been taking advantage of it, by gardening and taking a few small day trips to visit friends or check out a town. Ah, Summer! It is a great time of year.
The day trips are fun but a huge disadvantage to them is the high price of gas. It's just ridiculous. So I think we'll hang close to home the rest of the Summer, which is totally fine. Lots of time to do all things summery yet!
Hope everyone is having a great Summer!
The last time I bought a new pair of glasses, I purchased them through a traditional retail store. They cost me upwards of $100 despite my health benefits, and I'm not even satisfied with them! The staff didn't measure correctly, so the glasses are actually too lose fitting and easily sit crooked on my face. As you can imagine it's extremely annoying and distracting. Luckily, I'm due for a new pair soon. ZenniOptical.com sells prescription eye glasses starting as low as $ 8! I couldn't believe this at first, but it's true. By selling manufacturer direct to the customer, they can offer their products at a much lower price. Furthermore, the quality of their products was recently put to the test by FOX's program "Deal or Dud" and did remarkably well. Watch Zenni on Fox and see for yourself!
