SMART INVESTING

Wal-Mart just got listed as the #1 Fortune 500 Company with the largest amount of “sales” nationwide. Congratulations, you probably helped them achieve that! Exxon-Mobile was #2. Congratulations, chances are if you drive a vehicle, you helped them achieve that on your way to Wal-Mart! The sales and profit figures were MASSIVELY HUGE! We are talking about thousands of BILLIONS of $$$$.
So, what am I getting at here???
The great thing about a “recession” is it allows us to stop and re-evaluate our expenditures. It’s wonderful to see that kind of money being spent by Americans and that tells me – we don’t necessarily have money problems, we may just ever-so-slightly have VALUE issues (we won’t call it a problem). All of us can find money to buy what we Value. Even in this economy. Arguably we could say there are necessities at Wal-Mart (most have grocery stores in them), and yes we need gas for our cars, however, imagine a small fraction of those thousands of billions of dollars going toward a productive, fruitful life, full of health.
We can invest in our health. We really all can afford the best organic food. We really can all afford gym memberships and personal trainers, or yoga classes, or meditation classes. We can afford the best health we can possibly imagine. And it doesn’t come from drug or insurance companies. All it takes is an ever-so-slight shift of Values and shift of the budget from things that may detract from your families’ health, to things that will ENHANCE your families’ health. Enjoy the process of the challenge!
