Happy Holidays!
I'm hoping that I won't be trolled for saying "Happy Holidays" because in this new world order apparently all of the anti-PC police have "freed" our tongues so that we can now say "Merry Christmas" to everyone regardless of whether or not they celebrate Xmas or whether we just wanted to lump in one holiday with another (New Year's!) and make it plural (holidays).
In any case I needed to take a break from the internet and social media after I saw the president-elect Twump's nuclear tweets and the fact that we now have a team (yes a team) of people who must tell the American people what Twump means because we cannot on our own read his tweets, listen to his comments and take him literally. No we must have interpreters because apparently he doesn't actually mean what he says or writes.
The icing on the cake may have been when I saw a clip from Seth Meyer's show and he made a joke about Twump's ability to spell and then showed a (hopefully will never happen) email from Twump to Putin inviting Putin to have lunch but of course spelling it as launch. Ha ha ha (the world cries). Do we actually think that the transition team will be able to delete that email before anyone in Russia sees it?! Gagh!!!!
Moving on, whatever holiday you may or may not have celebrated, I do hope the past couple of days and the next few ones are nice and relaxing. I've decided to add Boxing Day to my list of holidays I celebrate - just because!
And I wanted to leave a list of links for you to peruse. I recommend going to the major brokerage houses websites in your respective country because they should all post short articles or blog posts. Easy reads, they can be a tad fluffy but can sometimes increase your financial knowledge or keep you motivated. These are from Prudential and each link will take you to several articles:
Preparing & Protecting
*I love the one on long-term planning for a special needs child!
**Soothe Financial Anxiety was also a good one!
Family Finances
Saving & Investing
Retirement Planning
Managing Debt
This is not an endorsement of Prudential - it's just free reading :-) These links are clearly oriented towards Americans (e.g. 401K, IRA etc. language) but the concepts should be the same across the board.
Happy reading! AND Happy Holidays to us all!
