From Belinda Fuchs, CPAEdition: IV-2010
Greetings!
Fun with M&M
Have you noticed that FUN can come in so many shapes and sizes, and often when you least expect it? Yes, that picture is me hanging with a green M&M!

I was just in New York City this past weekend to present an
award in my father's memory at the graduation for the Fordham University Graduate Business School. We seized the moment
and visited with NYC friends and toured Times Square at night. Times Square

You don't have to wait for New Years to experience the vibrant energy, heart-pumping excitement and neon lights of Times Square.

Nor do you have to wait one more day for spring cleaning your finances or your next on-budget vacation!

Here is your annual chance to truly, finally, once and for all, organize your finances. Check out the Feature Article for the first in our Spring Cleaning series for resources from Suze Orman, David Bach, and me on how and what to organize, keep, and yes...purge! Plus a new OYM Tip for your next Free Vacation and how to make the most of this upcoming U.S. holiday weekend.

Plus, I love it when people come up to me after a speech and share how it has touched, moved and inspired them. Even better when we get it on VIDEO to share with you-- see this month's Success Story for a new video, plus me hanging with Deepak Chopra and Jack Canfield Around Town too.

Have a great weekend and I look forward to hearing more of your creative adventures to HAVE FUN and on a budget!

Belinda and the
OwnYourMoney.com Team 

PS- If you ever have to present an "elevator speech" to a networking group,
you will love the $200 special we got for
OYM subscribers in the BONUS COUPON Top!

"From emotionally scary to easy"... Instead of the usual inspiring story from a client in this section, and since the last 2 months have been filled with presentations, we wanted to share some of the key take-aways from a recent presentation given to a powerful group of women executives in financial services in Boston.

AROUND TOWN

Where in the world is Belinda? We've been asking that all month!

Events in New York, Washington DC, and New Hampshire have kept her busy. Two highlights were definitely the visit with Dr. Deepak Chopra (pictured at left), one of the world's greatest leaders in the field of mind body medicine, the founder of The Chopra Center for Well Being, and the prolific author of over 56 books. We agreed on the role of financial well-being as key to our overall health and clearly I was beaming when sharing about "owning your money."

Investing in my own education and continued development continues to be one of cornerstones of my success. I took my business and life planning to the next level with an event led by America's #1 Success Coach Jack Canfield in Boston. Jack (pictured right) is Co-Author of the Chicken Soup for the Soul® books and the success classic, The Success Principles: How to Get From Where You Are to Where You Want to Be. Stay tuned for the video tip and testimonial Jack recorded for Belinda and the OwnYourMoney.com soon-to-be released new blog!

OYMtipOYM Tip - Free Vaca!

Who says going on vacation has to be out of your budget?

VacaThis Memorial Day I am going with 4 girlfriends to a gorgeous house on the water south of Boston. Cost to us= $0 (plus just the cost of a gift for the generous friend of ours loaning us her family's house).

I've even vacationed for free in the Cayman Islands staying in a friend's condo right on the beach. Cha-ching!

Instead of resigning yourself to passing on a vacation this summer (or even this holiday weekend), consider how you can get creative to create the experiences you are looking to enjoy.

First look to what priorities are important to you -- pure fun, the outdoors, quality time with your family and friends, good food,...what's on your short list?

Then second, let go of the resignation and put on your fun and creative hat. Do some research on possible options. Here are some links to get you started:
  • House swap - http://www.homeexchange.com/
  • Vacation Rentals By Owner - www.vrbo.com - I've used this service and it was great. It is a much cheaper alternative to individual hotel rooms if you are going with your family.
  • Camp grounds or local beaches, bowling, biking, host a potluck or a wine tasting - all easy to research on line
Third, put your plan into action, have some fun, and send us an invite!
