Viewing corners

Women are expected to be more knowledgeable in budgeting household expenses than men.  But too many many working women overspend and go over their budgets; far worse, many mature women, whether married or single, do not have budgets, especially now that we are in the face of layoffs and discussions about politics dominate the news more than money-saving tips.

Even withour a degree in financial management, women are able to develop sharp initiatives when it comes to budgeting.  But grave mistakes are still being made over and over again.  So,  in order for these slip-ups not to be made the third time, read on to learn more:

1.  Disregarding spot budgeting

You’re not by yourself in this matter.  Most are uncomfortable in budgeting as women find this chore as something that is avoided.  The key is NOT to budget down to the last centavo. Spot budgeting is choosing two or three categories which are not really absolute necessities in the household - like clothes or cellular phone expenses.   Trim down the budget on these and you’re good to go.

2.  Sweating the trivial stuff

This occurs when on one occasion you tried to buy a jar of mustard that was on discounted price even if the family wouldn’t bother to eat it.  Not everything that’s on sale is worth buying.  Buy the items on discount that your family will really use.

3.  Impulsive buying

Ah, the eternal mistake as being a shopaholic has become somewhat mental disorder.  But there’s a quick cure for this,  take into mind that items bought as a result of impulse are the sources of regret.  And in these times where you could lose your job tomorrow while the culprits of financial collapse are spending thousands of dollars in spa treatment,  better just stick to your list.

4.  Not minding money leaks

Money leaks are basically the things that you spend on without thinking much about how much these will actually cost you; like that Sneakers bar or that Starbucks latte during mid-morning breaks.  So, how to spot ‘em?  Jot down EVERY item that you spent on that day and the exact amount.  After a week, review that list and you’ll see your money leaks.  And after that, try to pass on them.

5.  Maxing out the plastics

Credit card use has become a staple in everyday living.  That’s perfectly okay but with the credit crunch looming, maxing out the spending limit is not the smartest thing to do.  Set aside an amount from your paycheck to pay your debts and at the same time, don’t increase your credit card debt as you’ll end up working just to pay it.

One of the best things to do is sit down and make a yearly plan of the expenses. Put the things that need repair on top of the list and the most needed appliances.  Can’t really afford to spend too much, even after the elections.  Experts say things will improve in a year’s time. That’s a long time, so make the best out of your budget.

People presume that women feel sexual fulfillment and happiness when they get married. Nothing is farther than the truth. Majority of women hardly experience sexual bliss. Offices of marriage counselors are swamped with sexually dissatisfied women. They go through their married life without feeling orgasm as the nature intended it.

So, here are a few tricks that doesn’t involve sexual positions:

1.  Have a healthy body

Sexually satisfied women understand that a healthy body forms the foundation of a rewarding life. Being in good health protects them from the ill-effects of various sexual dysfunctions. They practice regimen of proper hygiene, eat healthy food, and undergo regular medical checkup.

2.   Give time for sex

Being busy at home in the corporal world kills sexual desire.  Sexually satisfied women give more time for sex.  Agree to have time alone with each other.  Go on a date - see a romantic movie, have dinner  afterwards, and go home, and well, you’ll know what will happen next.

3.  Do it in various places

What’s wrong with doing it in the bedroom?  Nothing, actually, except that you’ll soon experience waning libido and boredom.  Sexually satisfied women love having sex in every corner of the house.

4.  Use encouraging love talk

More than just feedback, saying encouraging words of love having sex boosts libido and the orgasm.

5.  Try new positions

Sexually satisfied women do not just content themselves with the standard position- man on top, woman beneath.  Why not be the one on lead?

6.  Give gentle directions

Sexually satisfied women have explored their erogenous zones so they can give gentle directions and coaching to their mates during the lovemaking process.

7.  Deal with obstacles to good sex

Worries, anxieties, resentments, anger - all these are passion binders that deaden your desire for sex.  So deal with these baggages. Get to the root of your problems - what’s making you worried, anxious,resentful or angry at your husband, or yourself or your situation.

If something’s bugging you so much you’re losing the desire to make love with your husband,decide now to face these obstacles and deal with them.  Maybe they will not go away immediately - as many problems never do, but decide which to set aside for a while. Relax, live life, make love.
