Thanks for all your encouraging words in response to my last post. I am a believer that everything happens for a reason, and even though it didn't work out between J and me, I am still thankful for the time we spent together and I feel I am a stronger person because of what I went through with him.
I just spent the long weekend at the cottage and it was very relaxing. The weather was awesome, I got in lots of R&R, and even a little practicing of open water swimming for my tri that is in a week! Scary!
I read this book called "The Wealthy Barber" by David Chilton. What a great book! If you haven't read it already, I highly recommend it. It expains a very easy and affordable way that we can all be living a life of luxury and wealth in our retirement years if we just do a little financial planning while we're young (that's the key, start when you're young). That's the beauty of compound interest and dollar cost averaging. I think I will definately have to do that. I would highly recommend this book. It has a lot of great tips for all kinds of financial topics such as how to ensure you are wealthy in retirement (not just getting by, but stinkin rich), life insurance, RRSPs, wills, buying real estate, saving and credit management, investments, income tax, etc. This book is also written in a easy to understand and sometimes comical way. It's great!
Well, back to the grind tomorrow. Why is it that long weekends just seem to slip by us so darn quickly?!?!

My Dad owns the Wealthy Barber, I have not read it yet. He's been telling us crazy kids to invest invest invest! So, that's been drilled into my head since I was old enough to know what money was. I will probably read it, but when I'm actually able to keep some of my money.
Sounds like a book JB would like... he's very much into the whole "planning for retirement" thing. I'm starting to put some money away too.
