Back to Basics

Fall is in the air with the leaves changing, children going back to school, cooler nights and less amount of daylight for the northern states. A lot has changed since a year ago and spending habits is one of the most visible that has hit home. Sales are soaring at discount stores/chains and at fast food restaurants. Restaurant chains have developed dinner specials for two that allow there to still be money left over for a babysitter. However, this trend of spending less is going to get old school thoughts of how people enjoyed life in more simpler times.

When is the last time you had a group of friends over for a pot luck dinner with board games or video games? Movie night? In a fast pace world sometimes it take going back to simple times to bring out innovative fun entertainment on a budget.

When was the last time you looked up your heritage and the traditions/food related? Or maybe it was a trip you took to another country? Ever think of sharing the knowledge, pictures and food with friends. In a few weeks you could travel the world from the comfort of neighborhood homes.

Taking a moment to recharge with friends and family will help in grounding you in what will be always there for you: Friends & Family.

Who knows with the money saved you might be able to take another trip to share in the future?
