My Home About Me

Hope your Shrive is well and truly done, and you are ready for the coming of Lent tomorrow. Shrove Tuesday or Pancake Tuesday is a fun day at our Church, where we have a pancake and sausage dinner and folks get together and have a meal together.

It's an ending and a beginning kind of event. It's the end of something that you are going to try to "give up" for Lent and the beginning of a journey to see whether you can live up to your promises.

Every day in your financial and fiscal planning life can be like this if you give yourself a chance, and just START doing something about your financial plan (and your life plan, if you want to go to that grand a scale). It's really trite to say, but each day is the first day of the rest of your life (yes I can't believe I typed that one either). Begin something new today, remember Lent does not just mean to give something up, you can take something on as well.

Over at Don't Mess With Taxes you can find Tax Carnival 12, which is mostly an American perspective but still some very interesting articles to read over. They mention my "Cut Taxes or Lower Debt" posting from last week as well.
