There is a smarter way to approach budgets sexy, and it starts with knowing a few key details. This guide covers them, along with tips you can apply immediately.
Key Takeaways
- Followed by my latest entry: A date with my dentist.
- Worth noting: unless you think The Reaper could be bribed??) This recent scare came courtesy of my new doctor’s nurse.
- More importantly, it breaks down like this: Cholesterol - Excellent!
- WOW?) Some word I’ve at no point heard of - Excellent!
A Closer Look at Budgets Sexy
This seems to be post #3 in the new health series of my life, to which I have aptly labeled “your body is getting older than your mind.” Or, how I’m GENUINELY feeling about it at the moment, “Watch out! Your body is trying to kill you!!!” For those new to the site, you can read about the begin of this adventure here: My goal to be a “grown up” this year.
- It’s pretty riveting stuff, I assure you. (And no, you are not on a health blog… it’s just when your body tries to kill you, that becomes priority over making a million dollars.
- We’ll call her Sunshine.
- Sunshine had called to report back on my blood tests we did last week - as part of the yearly physical stuff (*cough cough*) - and it turns out we have some new problem areas.
- It seems that most of me is doing quite well in a slew of areas on the list, but in others it’s pretty much the opposite story.
What to Know About Budgets Sexy
Sodium - Excellent! (And, HOW? Another something I’ve at no point heard of - Double Excellent!
- Remember that to have my sodium levels that solid was a nice surprise!
- And makes sense, genuinely, now that my blood pressure has been lowered a solid 30 points these past few weeks of changes (I now check it at home each day with this).
- But the patting on the back didn’t last long… Apparently my ALT (?) and AST (??) levels are much greater than they’re supposed to be.
- Like, on the “solid” scale of 0-48, mine’s at 59 and 85 (!!!) respectively.
How Budgets Sexy Really Works
As a rule, and Sunshine says there are two probable causes for this: For one of them (ALT, I believe) I’m taking too much medicine. Like Tylenol, Advil, etc, which are all hard on your liver.
- The second, (AST) is due to me drinking too much each day.
- Alcohol, not apple juice.
- In short, but here’s the aspect.
- I’m NOT drinking a lot, and I’m especially not taking meds a lot.
Getting the Most From Budgets Sexy
The last Advil I took was maybe 3 weeks ago, and the last beer I downed was maybe 3 days ago. When I drink I literally have 1-2 beers max.
- Worth noting: mainly since I’m an old man now (you hush, Martin), but also since I wish to have my wits about me shall I require to be there for my baby at any time.
- I’m certainly not acting like my 20 year-old self these days.
- So needless to say I was pretty stumped.
- And honestly, I don’t think Miss.
Tips That Make a Difference
More importantly, sunshine believed me when I said I don’t abuse any of those aspects, which kinda scares me even more. But she assured me there’s nothing to worry about yet, and that we should do another test in 4 weeks just to compare and learn more.
- In the meantime, I promised not to drink a single ounce of alcohol or take a single pill so we can rule them out.
- Not that I’m counting on much… We’ll see what these results yield in the next month (I refuse to Google this and scare myself even more!), but the point is that there will consistently be *something* going on in our lives..
- Remember that and it likes to pop up as soon as you just put out your most recent fire like clockwork.
- This is highly much so with money, more than anything. “I just saved for my vacation, woohoo!” $hit, my car just broke down. “Whew, finally paid off that credit card!” Oh damn, the refrigerator stopped working… “Got a bonus at work - so happy!!!” Wait, what’s that?
Common Mistakes to Avoid
I owe $5,000 in taxes? And on and on and on… There will consistently be something.
- As a rule, and the TRICK is to set yourself up from the begin to be able to handle most of that crap that gets sent through the pipeline to better keep you sane (and more money in your pockets).
- Aspects like: Creating (and *keeping*) an emergency fund Lowering your expenses so you have more for saving/investing/doing whatever you wish Doing routine maintenance on aspects Investing in YOURSELF to prepare you for a better future Streamlining and managing your money to better align with how you operate Budgeting or tracking your money so you know where everything is!
- Even if it’s your *own* version of “not budgeting” that highly much resembles budgeting just called something else ;) I’ve compiled a fun list of different methods you can budget here: The sticky note method of budgeting) That’s the solid news.
- The bad news, is that frequently times aspects are out of your control and you get scared silly for a bit.
Is Budgets Sexy Worth It?
In short, similar to my liver problem at the moment. If it’s controllable by the aspects I do, sign me up!!
- But if not, it becomes a more serious situation.
- Still one you can manage and work better at, but just a different ballgame with a new set of rules.
- Worth noting: so, to recap: my liver may be having some problems, but it’s nothing we can’t manage (yet) until we discover more.
- And this is similar to our money since we have no shortage of issues popping up in that department either.
