Namaste

The word namaste is used in yoga classes, and, generally speaking,  means “the light in me honors the light in you.“

“So, what does that have to do with finances?” you ask?

Nothing–absolutely nothing. 

We are actually going to talk about another aspect of yoga today–flexibility. Don’t worry, I’m not asking anyone to get on the floor, bend themselves in half, and kiss their knees (read a funny post about my sister’s yoga flexibility experience here), because I’m not talking about THAT kind of flexibility. I’m talking about this definition: the willingness to change or compromise.

The last few years have been crazy to say the least. We’ve all had to learn to be more flexible on multiple fronts, including the financial one.

Summer is just weeks away. I’m sure if your kids are not yet out of school they will be shortly. Now is a prime time to go over your summer plans and, based on your families’ financial and other needs, finalize those plans. Spending money that you do not have on a vacation (or anything else, for that matter) is stressful. Do you need to be flexible and reevaluate some of your potential plans?

Follow my advice to reduce stress–get control of your finances, and practice yoga. They've both worked wonders for me! 

You’re welcome.
