Week 63: More stimulus!!

Dear reader,  The pandemic is far from over still. In some countries the cases are rising and the vaccines don't always seem to be as great as they should be. We are not heading back to "normal" or so far we know normal is going to be. Talking about a new normal, the stimulus checks. Free money from the government. Who has to go to work when the government sends you a check?    This week I am talking about my economic concern with regards to the stimulus check, the way people are investing this money and what the most effective use of investment the stimulus check can be. I live in the Netherlands so I don't get a check but the government is paying for my salary while all restaurants are closed. Kind of the same principle but it is not "free money". There are no extra handouts but also in Europe this money has to come from somewhere.  Stimulus check:   The stimulus check is a government handout because people have been suffering from income reduction or loss...

Week 62: Blogcast!!

Dear reader,  In this day and age the use of media and information comes in different for each and everyone.

Week 61: February challenge, 10.000 steps a day!!

Dear reader, For every month of this year I am going to do a challenge. I am going to challenge myself to do something I should or should not be doing. By doing this I am able to create the best version of myself and see where I am addicted too in life and what great changes I can make to improve my health, well being, finances and mood. Maybe more improvements that I don't know will come up during these challenges.  This month's challenge is to walk 10.000 steps each day. While being in a lock down and having a curfew we all tend to get lazier. The motivation to go out and do something loses sight of the reality. For my job working in a restaurant I am used to walking and standing almost the entire day. With different times of the year there come different amounts of steps. On a quiet winter day I would manage 10.000 steps and on a busy summer day I can easily reach somewhere around the 25.000 steps. For the last while I have been feeling a bit more tired, lazy and in pai...
