Protecting the Environment

A big topic here on FITnancials is being healthy and staying in shape, but what about the environment as well? The environment plays a big role in a lot of my decisions also. I'm not the most eco-friendly person, but I would really like to change my habits.

Forests are important in everyone's lives, whether they play a small or very large role.

Forests create oxygen and help clean the air and water. Forests are beautiful and they are home to many, many different creatures and plants. Forests are home to more than one-third of the plant and animal species in the United States and Canada.

This is a given, and if you don't know this by now then you must live in a box. Water not only fills you up and prevents you from overeating, but it does great for your organs and skin.

This will keep those extra calories away, and if you're getting very close to your goal and the weight scale or body fat scale isn't budging, then not eating those extra calories can be very important….

Extra Money Ideas Part 2

Last week I had my Part 1 of ways that you can make extra money. Today is Part 2! As I said last week, lately, I haven't been working a whole lot. It's definitely a big difference as to when I was accepting all the shifts I could take and be working well over 40 hours per week.

I've been making extra money in several little ways, and they are working for now. I am glad that I get to enjoy my summer though and get to do a lot of small travel getaways such as to Chicago and Ohio!… Read more
