It is unfortunate that a good number of parents are not teaching their children the intricacies of balancing a checkbook, saving for the retirement years, how to manage romantic relationships, and their civic responsibilities.
I believe this is do to the fact that present American culture only values work and success.
In addition, values should be passed down to children by the parents. Today’s parents are engaged in earning a living and hiding from the bad choice they married.
Well, I write this article in order to offer helpful information for retirement and romantic success.
First, keep in mind that though you may have not gotten the necessary information to meet the demands of life, there nothing is keeping you from being informed.
There are public libraries, Internet, and many educational programs on TV and radio.
This programs will reinforce the ideas of planning, setting goals, and discipline.
Ironically, these techniques can also help a person have a successful romantic life.
I am a firm believer in knowing what you want in a mate. This includes hairstyle and color, height, weight, eyes, personality, vices, and any other thing you can think of that may appeal to you.
Too many people go on the hope of attraction. They hope that someone will look at them at the same time they are looking at them.
Then, after a kind smile, they will meet, talk, feel affection, and get hooked up.
Usually, after they begin to live with one another, they realize they made a mistake.
If they had taken the time to envision the perfect mate, they may of being more critical in choosing someone.
Planning can help in knowing and being around places where the person you would like to date hangs out.
Planning can also help a person write a mental test to compare the potential mates behavior.
This test can be used to evaluate the person’s personality as you see him or her interact with people or express his or her philosophy of life.
Moreover, there is a lot to be said for taking time to get to know a person.
Furthermore, recognize that romance is work. This work includes being understanding, supportive, fun, healthy, patient, mature, respectful, kind, and responsible.
In addition, you have to have a life, separate from work and maintaining a home. Therefore, find things to do together that both of you will enjoy. Be good company to one another by talking to each other and being involved.
Most spouses stop talking because they enter into the area where they try to show each other up. Once they cross line of respect by sounding irrational just to win the debate, insecurity takes over and they stop talking.
The rest of the marriage is spent avoiding conversation with curt comments.
Now you know why most spouses do not talk to each other. I once told a person that every person has something they just wont tolerate and when you do this thing, they no longer consider you important.
I wish people where different. There would be more happy marriage.
That is why it is important to think before you act. Taking time to consider your desires and how to acquire these desires should result in making good choices and doing your part.
The time to start working on your retirement plan is when you start working. That is right you should be working for your retirement.
See, young people should know that one day they will senior in age (old) and either won’t want to work or will be limited in the work he or she can do at this time.
I am willing to bet that if school kids knew that they are going to need a lot of money to sustain them through their retirement years they would start paying more attention in school.
Lately, I have encountered a lot of bad attitude from the students in the schools I work with as a substitute teacher.
However, the future is not waiting for you to get your act in order.
Therefore, fight the urge to finance or get credit cards.
In addition, sit down and figure out the perfect mate for you, draft a plan to meet this person, and implement this plan.
Waiting until you are in the heat of the battle is the wrong time to think.
