Pimp Your Finances

At the end of each year, I like to take a look back and think about the things I’m thankful for.  It helps me appreciate how lucky I really am.  Here are some things I’m thankful for this year:

• I’m thankful to have married the woman I love
• I’m thankful to be employed at all right now, let alone in a job I like that helps me grow
• I’m thankful for my health, and the health of my family and friends.
• I’m thankful that even though I got in a car wreck, no one was hurt (except my dignity), and the damage wasn’t too bad
• I’m thankful for the second chances I’ve been given.  I won’t waste them.
• I’m thankful to have four great dogs, and two awesome cats.  My animals bring me so much joy.

I know it may sound a bit cheesy, but it helps me focus on what’s really important in life.  It’s too easy to get wrapped up in material things that don’t matter.
