Wealth Today

So far 2008’s been a bumpy year for my 401k It’s dipped to some of it’s lowest lows. The past week has seen a slow and steady increase back to the bottom of last year’s median range. I’d like to see it really take off this year, but what with economists saying there’s a 50-50 chance of a recession, I’m cautious trying to make any assumptions this early.

I’ve been thinking, and I’ve discovered a few things that I think would make us more successful, both socially and financially, if we implemented them in our daily To Do list. Many of these are common sense, and maybe we already do these on some kind of regular basis. But when it comes to our daily To Do List, they should be there, but they probably aren’t.

1. Review yesterday
2. Make someone happy
3. Brainstorm
4. Make a new friend
5. Give something away
6. Learn something
7. Invest in yourself
8. Invest in a partner (spouse, family, friend)
9. Surprise yourself
10. Plan for tomorrow
