What Does Loving Our Family Have To Do With Money

What Does Loving Our Family Have To Do With Money

I have an important question and perhaps one of the most important questions that I have ever asked…

What does loving our family have to do with money?

…what does seeing my son sleep and breathe easily while sleeping on his heating pad him have to do with our income?

…EVERYTHING…

…Huh?…

….What do you mean EVERYTHING?…

…healthy sleeping 2 year old and money?

…I’m telling you that for our family it means EVERYTHING…

…and for anyone else who highly values their family, it means EVERYTHING…

…I can only speak for my family, so read this and see if it makes sense for you…

Water “Wai” and Wealth “Wai Wai” – What is Wealth?

Water “Wai” and Wealth “Wai Wai” – What is Wealth?

…Mey here writing a blog inspired from our family visit to Dole Plantation yesterday on Water “Wai” and Wealth “Wai Wai” – What is Wealth?

…we were touring the beautiful gardens and learned that the Hawaiian word for fresh water is “wai” and the word for wealth is “wai wai”…

…fresh water means a lot to Hawaiians because if you found a source, then you could live…

…you could grow plants, drink water, etc…

…when I think about becoming financially free, I sometimes think that I want to become wealthy…

…the thing is I already am wealthy…

…afterall, I do have fresh water to drink yes?

Do You Lend Money To Your Friends?

Do You Lend Money To Your Friends?

Mey here on a breezy cool Tuesday evening, to boys went grocery shopping and left me to speed blog about today’s HOT topic – Do You Lend Money To Your Friends?

…I did a scope (live video on the Periscope app) today and asked this question, and got a lot of interesting responses…

…one lady had lent money to her brother, and was still waiting for him to pay her back…

…she said he was going through hard times…

…and that HE’S ALWAYS going through hard times…

…another live viewer from Vermont said that they never lend money to friends, if it’s under $100 they just give them the money…

…said it’s not worth the emotional hassle…

…tell me about it!

…some people are good about paying back money and some just are not at all!

…what happens when someone stops paying you back and they still owe you money?

Children and Financial Freedom

Children and Financial Freedom

…this is Mey here on a beautiful and cool Thursday evening, after a massive rainfall during the day, talking about Children and Financial Freedom…

…by far one of the biggest MOTIVATORS for people to get life insurance, save money, buy a house, get a stable job and do things that drastically improve their money and wealth is when they have children…

…suddenly, it isn’t just you anymore, now you have to care for this cute little bundle of joy that you love more than your own life…

…and priorities shift…
