Free Book – Navigating Your Health Care for Dummies

by

A little while ago, I was tipped off by City Girl’s Financial Blog that you could get a free book about health care. Free is good 🙂

So, I went to the site and signed up to receive Navigating Your Health Care for Dummies. At the worst I could get more junk mail and spam in my inbox. The site is run through Aetna, so I trusted it somewhat. So far, no new junk mail and no new spam.

I’ve skimmed through it, and the book is in the traditional form of all of the Dummies books (easy to read with a little bit of humor in there). It is a quick read and a very basic introduction to Health Care. It has 62 pages and is 8.5″ x 5.5″.

To get your free copy, just visit the Plan For Your Health website here.

Ways I Save Money: Be Resourceful

by

As a kid, my favorite show of all time was MacGyver. Besides the fact that the lead actor (Richard Dean Anderson) was a hunk, I did watch the show for inspiration.

The main theme of MacGyver, if you are unfamiliar with it, is that the main character, MacGyver, is very resourceful. He is out battling bad guys and he can make almost anything using the things around him. As kids, we would actually play a game called MacGyver where we would have a pile of odds-and-ends and try to make something useful from it. Sure, our creations weren’t that pretty but for the most part they did somewhat work.

As an adult, I do find myself trying to think like MacGyver when there is something that I need or want but I don’t want to go out and buy it already made. This past summer, my son really wanted a swing.

We found some rope in our garage and then used an old floor mat from our car for the seat. The end result was something he has had a lot of fun with. Oh yeah, I can’t forget that duct tape was an ingredient as well 😉 There are a million uses for duct tape LOL.

I find that when I create things like that, I feel good about it. I like to be resourceful and making new things out of old things. It’s fun, and it saves us money.
