Missing Out On Life Milestones
UNITED STATES─This is indeed a frustrating time for many Americans. The notion of not being able to go out and live life to its fullest it’s a trying task for so many people. With that said, I feel for high school students and college students right now. I have my own reason people, which I will explain later. However,...
A Passion Reignites During Down Time
UNITED STATES─Who would have ever expected that this self-quarantine would have provided the perfect opportunity for me to focus my limited spare time I have (I work more than one job people), to focus my energy on the one thing that means the world to me: writing. I must be honest I don’t recall the last time I looked...
Money Saving Becomes Easy
UNITED STATES─I might get some flack for this, but I’m being completely honest here, that I have saved so much money since the country has gone on a virtual shutdown. While I would be exaggerating things slightly by saying the country has shut down, because in all actuality it hasn’t, but it feels like 80 percent is out of...
The 24/7 Coronavirus News Cycle
UNITED STATES─This is something that I’ve been wanting to talk about for a few weeks, and because so much has been going on, I’ve simply forgotten about it. However, it’s the thing we’ve been talking about since the start of March, we are now into the second week of April and as soon as the news comes on the...
Americans Getting Free Money

Grappling With Social Isolation
UNITED STATES─Social isolation it is likely a term so many of us have heard far more than we can handle at this point. For me, it’s a term I hate because I feel like it is literally taking over my life as I know it. Human beings by nature are social beings so the fact that we are limited...
The Work From Home Challenge
UNITED STATES─So many employers have enacted a work from home policy in the midst of this global crisis that has stifled the economy and forced many Americans to shelter in place, or as I call it be on house arrest. For anyone who has every worked from home, you’re fully aware that it is NO EASY task at all...
Coping With The Boredom People
UNITED STATES─I am utterly bored to death right now. The fact that you cannot dine out, you can’t really go to the park, the zoo, to the mall, to the barbershop, hair salon, the nightclub, sporting events, visit family has turned most of society into a ghost town if you ask me. For so many of us, the boredom...
The Coronavirus Mayhem
UNITED STATES─I want people to know that last week’s column about the Coronavirus at first I thought was being blown out of proportion. However, it seems the chaos is expanding, and I want to say beyond a pandemic it feels like an epidemic has exploded. Why? Schools, literally schools all over the country are closed for the next several...
Saving Smart In A Crisis
UNITED STATES─It is the only thing people can talk about right now: Coronavirus. That is on so many people’s minds because right now the world is in a dicey predicament. Businesses are being forced to close, retailers are cutting hours, the restaurant industry in addition to the service industry is being forced to close its doors, and it all...
