When We are Old

Posted on September 21, 2008 by greenbucks| Leave a comment

I have meant to write a post with photos about the poem “When You are Old” by William Butler Yeats. This has been sitting in my notepad for months already.

I can not precisely remember the reasons why I haven’t made it in a post but foremost I remember is that I do not have photos of people who were well beyond their golden age. This stage I can think of several photo images but the one I thought would be very apt would be that of the setting sun.


Finally I had photos (several taken with permission to publish) but I decided to put these in a commentary/post I have written about people beyond the golden years who still work hard for their families. Not because they love doing it but because they have no choice.

Why so?

Hard Times

Posted on September 19, 2008 by greenbucks| 2 Comments

Times are hard. With the problems even the biggest financial institutions are having,it is not a surprise that people have their own financial difficulties too.

There are so many things one can do to avoid having financial problems. One is to be able to manage whatever resources one has and not spend beyond that.

There are of course instances when a person is in need of a major financial help so a personal loan is not avoided. It is not bad to get a personal loan as long as one is able to responsibly answer the obligations that need to be answered.

Getting financial help is not an easy task so it is very important to be able to know the different services one can avail of. It is important to read a lot of information like a personal finance map which can outline services according to one’s needs.

In the mean time, it is best to do an overall assessment of one’s financial resources to be able to maximize these resources.

Semestral Break

Posted on September 18, 2008 by greenbucks| Leave a comment

A few weeks from now, semestral break will be here. I am sure a lot of families with school age children as well as college students looking forward to having a break are making their early plans.

So what are the things to prepare for a hassle-free semestral break?

  • First of all, make sure that the schedules of those having the break are free.
  • Look for the best hotel deals that will offer maximum enjoyment and relaxation without paying sky high fees.
  • Agree upon the destination early on and book early too. Booking tasks cover hotels and flight or bus schedules.
  • If the trip entails driving, make sure that the vehicle is in its best condition.
  • Make a doable list of the places to visit and go over the list before the trip. Having an alternate itinerary would be very helpful.
  • Pack the essentials you need a few days before the trip. Making a list would be helpful too.

Hmm…what have I forgotten?

Countryside Living

One of the advantages in living near the countryside is almost being in one with nature. Flowers, trees, the fields, even the sky, are one’s view anytime of the day. The air is fresh too and oftentimes sweet. At night, the stars are much brighter too.

Living in the countryside enables one to be sufficient. Fresh produce can be harvested from the backyard. Eggs from chickens are fresh and so is the milk from animals. Meat too from cattle and fowls can be had for fresh.

Having a car is not just about getting from one place to another or conveniently going to and from the places one needs to go.

The first step would be to see what are the different options one can take before a car loan contract is sealed.
