The $10 a Month iPhone Plan

Why are you paying so much for your Iphone service?

How much do you pay a year for your Iphone service? $1,000? $2,000? What are you getting for that service? The average Iphone user pays about $2,240 ($199/Phone + $85/Month) every two years for their phone plus a service contract. What would you do if someone gave you $2,000? Would you enjoy having that money? I think most people would agree that you could have a lot of fun with that kind of money.

What you need to get started:

AT&T iPhone ($99 to $299 Off Contract at CowBoom, Ebay, or Craigslist)
Sim Card ($1 to $15)

How does it work? Continue reading

Five Books That Have Changed My Life

I love to read. I read a fair amount of fiction but I mostly read non-fiction. I enjoy reading that makes me think and challenges me to take action or meaningfully examine my life. In no particular order, five books that have changed my life:

Book #1: The Power of Less – Leo Babauta

What it is about:
The book focuses on the idea that we have more stuff in our life than we have time. To be effective in our lives we need to step back, determine what is truly important to us, and get rid of the rest. If we do not, we will find ourselves overwhelmed with junk (both physical and commitments) that doesn’t leave time for the truly important things.

Power of a Meal Plan

If ten minutes doing a task every week could give you: hours of free time, make you much healthier, save you money, reduce waste and considerably drop your stress, would I have your interest?

Planning your meals to some sounds like an incredibly meaningless or boring task. But in truth, it is often one of the most inefficient areas of most peoples’ lives. It is surprising how much we think, stress, and in general, under-prepare in this area of our lives. I wish I could measure the collective inefficiencies of the number of people who drive to the store to grab a few ingredients they forgot for a recipe, or how many times people in a house can’t agree on what’s for dinner and end up driving through McD’s to appease the fam (and the surprising mental anguish that comes with trying to get several people to agree on one restaurant!).

Changing Habits: Using Passive Barriers

Why is it that we have things in our lives that we truly desire to change but yet we keep putting them off or not doing them at all?  It’s like the old joke: “How do you make new year’s resolutions? Simply take last year’s and change the date”. There are many things that cause us to keep from reaching our goals and we’ll begin by defining anything that keeps us from achieving our goal as a barrier. Today we’ll take a look at some sneaky “passive barriers” that we rarely consider, and find ways we can use them to our advantage. Continue reading

Why Write?

Why would anyone want to write another blog? There seem to be billions out there and everyone, including your mother, has a new one they love to post and talk about. So why would I spend hours a week thinking, writing and posting on another blog?
