Life is a Journey

About the Book

This book contains information ranging from some fairly simple common-sense things to some more complex business and financial things. It is our hope that what we have put onto these pages will help you on your journey through life and you will not have to learn some things the hard way. We realize things change over time and what may be important to us today may not have been what was important to us earlier in our lives. We believe much of what we have said here is ageless and is good advice for any period of time because the advice deals with life itself and the relationships we have with other individuals throughout our lifetimes.

Every phase of your life prepares you for the next phase so make the most of each phase, and tuck away your memories to help you deal with the next phase. This book, and each book which follows in this series, is organized by decade so that our advice can be specific to each phase of your lives starting with the years you are in now, your first ten years. Some of our advice is not dependent on a period of time so it is covered in the first chapter of this book, and sometimes mentioned later, specifically to the time period involved. For each phase of your lives we will cover the following topics:

• inner self,
• relationships,
• responsibilities,
• possessions,
• planning,
• renewing, and
• religion/faith
