Lately my husband and I have been trying to save money on our grocery bill. With the unstable economy we’ve been discussing how we can cut expenses. One obvious choice is to cut out eating in restaurants. In the past we would eat out about once a week, usually for a date night. Now our date night is a trip to the local ice cream drive thru for a scoop.

Another discovery we’ve recently made is shopping closer to home at the local vegetable and fruit market. Family owned the market has a great variety of in season fruits, vegetables and specialty items like tofu or fresh herbs. Healthy eating can be cheap and delicious.

A friend of ours is a nutritionist, and often has great meal ideas. She works for a cardiologist and educates heart patients about nutrition. Proper nutrition can assist in recovery from strokes along with a transitional physical therapy program.  My friend enjoys working in the healthcare industry and is considering pursuing a masters in health science program. The classes are offered online or at health science universities.

By cutting down on meat and eating more fruits, legumes and vegetables my husband and I have lost a few pounds and saved a few dollars.

I hang out at the local golf course a lot. Maybe too much. On my days off, that’s where I am. After work, it’s a beeline to the course so I can hit some balls or practice putting. That is unless I cut out of work early enough to get in a full round. I seriously can’t get enough; it’s like some kind of addiction.

Then there is my job. Ugh, I hate it. I’m stuck inside a warehouse all day moving this over here and moving that over there. Not just boring and mundane, but I’m stuck inside when it’s so nice outside. And it’s not like I feel like I play an important role there. If I left today, they would have me replaced by tomorrow. Regarding advancement, well it’s not going to happen because everything above me requires a college education which I don’t have. And I’m not about to go to college so I can spend the rest of my life in a warehouse!

It’s time for a serious change. I am going to go to college. Not the kind of college that lands me in a warehouse though. I’m going to go to golf school so I can start a golf career. I’m going to teach golf! Instead of driving a forklift, I’m going to make a living driving Titleists!
