I am spending more time looking at financial issues that never had my attention 30 years ago. So blogs like Budgeting Boomers is right on time. In addition I am in avid admiration for her efforts to help her mom. Prior to my mom’s passing last month my financial goals included caregiving for her.

Hi, I’m Lisa and I am a 50 something Baby Boomer. I am married to my Knight in Shining Armor and I have a 26 yo daughter and a 20 yo daughter. My oldest daughter is married to a wonderful Air Force officer, my youngest daughter is in college and my mother lives with my husband and me. I left the traditional work world to open a business from home so that I could be here more for my mother.
Going from a good income to a new business made things a little tight around here and meant that it was time to whip out my penny saving tactics. I have always been a frugal shopper but I needed to go one step further. I have found some great ways to save and I would like to share them with others that could and would use them. I hope this blog will help you save money and get closer to a happy retirement.
Are you neglecting your blogs? Do you feel like putting them up for adoption or throwing them away? I know this sounds harsh but I am in the process of making that decision. I am re-evaluating all my sites. I am also working on a strategic plan for each site I keep.
Does that make sense? I can no longer afford the time to blog when the mood hits or when I come across something I want to share. That often means stopping what I am doing and posting on one of my sites. Think about it. We cannot afford to do that in our everyday life.
I mean imagine if you were housecleaning, stopped to look up an old magazine on Ebay, then found other distractions while online? House work will not get done. Well, that is what I have just done and must get back to accomplishing my goals for the day.
The same thing can happen with our blogging. If you have more than one blog we must consider being systematic, not anal, but systematic if your blogging is more than just recreational.
This baby boomer life is busy enough and if blogging is part of your weekly activities I, for one, feel we owe it to our readers to either provide quality content. What do you think?
As soon as you get to the Facebook Page of Suzie Cheel she engages you with a video. I love her energy, sincerity and warmth. You get to know her right away while she shares what her page is all about. She is using a Welcome page which I have not seen too often on pages. As a matter of f act I hope she shares how she did it and the apps she used for her html opt in. How very cool.
Her scenic background invites you to go sip on some green tea and rest while you chat with Suzie.
So far she has 91 likes and I strongly suspect it will just go up. I am hoping that she does share some of her cooking tips. Keep up the great work Suzie!
