That common phrase only applies to this blog post. When it comes to women, money and saving so that they can get the things they want it’s better now than later.
Every second Thursday of the month in our local office my business partners and I sponsor a seminar strictly for women to educate them on financial topics of an assorted variety. It’s known as Wine, Women & Wealth. The first one of 2016 focused on What Women Want.
I came across a couple of emails from this guy Dick Talens in an email account I rarely check (lately that’s been all of them). He’s described on his site as “the dog whisperer for fat people”; his words not mine before any angry comments pop off. At any rate his articles are helpful and so we’re sharing one below. Be sure to visit his site for more.
How to Stop Binge Eating
by Dick Talens
I’ve struggled with binge eating for as long as I can remember.
Some people might be shocked by this, but for those of you who know me offline and have seen me scarf down not just one whole – but two or more pizzas – you already knew this.
For the most part my binge eating is completely under control; that is, I only binge eat for funsies. Let’s face it, there are few things more fun than shoveling a bevy of delicious pastries down your throat until you create the perfect environment for mandatory nap time. I take that back. It’s more fun if it’s after all-you-can-eat sushi.

Everyday at mine, I encourage youths to really think about what job they will have and make sure it’s something they enjoy while my distaste for my job slowly grows. Believe it or not, I actually was excited when I began about what I how it would help me reach my personal goals and enjoyed it up until bureaucratic changes sapped all the joy from it. It’s become an abusive relationship. So I think it’s time to divorce my job just like I did my cheating, abusive ex.
(Was that TMI?)
Of course you should never rush into a divorce with a spouse and the same thing goes for your job. I’ve been contemplating this change for about the past three years and researching how to do it successfully, keep my house (the job can keep the kids and the pets), and progress towards full-time self-employment. My (Blogging 201) goal is for this to be a new biweekly post series, filled with tips, research, and my own personal experiences. So on to the first tip.
Tip 1: Have a side-hustle, side-gig, or alternate income stream.
Most everyone is looking for ways to supplement their income these days. I’ve been doing it myself for about 10 years now. While there have been good and not-so-good years, I’ve persisted which is a key trait when your goal is to be self-employed.
