Boons Of Wealth, Knowledge, and Experience, by Thomas Collins Jr.

Upon looking at life and situation many adhere to certain perceived norms. We feel things in our own sphere of influence are or tend to be the most socially economical and cerebral of all the things imaginable until the boon of wealth, knowledge, and experience appears almost as real mirages before our eyes. The things, people, and encounters that can tell us, teach us, and prove to us our textbook experiences are hogwash and our future be all and end all is nothing but monkey play and calculated encounters and experiences , though held dear, in the sphere of probability and statistics.

The old world knowledge, scene, and experience is often lost in the melee of complex and strategical interactions of the here and now. Our interactions with the past and our engagementto seek out solutions to the world around us abound within and among our aged population and in resources they have left us. Their expertise, knowledge, and influence bear witness to their resilience, adaptability, and ingenuity. Their structures, ideas, and advancements can be seen from personal pleasantries to tools of necessity and instruments and structures of innovation.

Actions in the warfare of current times in counteraction of times gone past in relation to modern style, culture, and seemly old world simplicity are ever engaging in conflict and homogeneity. Arguably our advancements for debatable betters in easing our toils in combination with the freeing of time often bring us to a point where the norms of yesterday are all but pleasant glances as we vacation in a place set as time for their recognition and seeking. For many gone are the days of the wobbly table of grandpa made with love durable as steel over time and fixable by coaster placement from the scant necessity.

 Many of us have been blessed to own these vital or optionalassets, tools, and resources. For others these means of transportation are a frequent, sporadic, or occasional tools used for the enhancement of quality of life. Be it for the big run to the grocery or convenience stores, or family activities and appointments, these tools enrich our lives and also complicate them.  How to keep them from aging prematurely is no easy task.

Maintaining these lubed and tuned pieces of equipment does not have to be a monumental task. In many cases cost cutting is easy when given options. Were you aware there are garages and service stations who will perform maintenance on your tool, asset, or resource at service flat rates or per hour if you are able to obtain pieces, parts, lubricants, or the resources required?

The mechanism through which one or another obtains freedom if not from another from oneself.  

Interactions in the cosmos and our multifaceted spheres of influence have experiences real, perceived, imagined, inspired, acute, peripheral, situational, and circumstantial. These encounters intentional, random, and spontaneous allow for many diversified causes, effects, and rationales. The mechanism used for adjustment or change in vector of azimuth is as diverse as is an experience, or group of recollections and encounters.

Save You Some Dough Dinera Please, by Thomas Collins Jr. →

We all have money or resource problems in some way, shape, or form. The majority of us have always had an unmet expectation whether to obtain a desired end or procure a necessity. How to trim the fat and get to a most lean and efficient resource of quality and price is as common as the endless pursuit of perfection among our population in mass. 

As seasons change so do our new obstacles. Be it the slight acquisition of the small but ignorable item or service to make things somewhat more pleasant, or, that anvil that pops in proving we are not the Masters of the Universe. Electricity, food, clothing, cleaning goods, hygiene items, entertainment, household or outdoor decor, tools, and other necessities. These in conjunction with our children, spouses, and best friends forever place demands upon ourselves and our resources. 

Light bulb swapping to a lower wattage to find that perfect amount of ambient lighting for reading, entertainment, and television all from the same illumination point in a room seemly far to vast, bringing the realization of the impossibility of lighting a dance hall with just one candle and no mirrors. Those phantom lights reappear as the trauma of our childhood horror flicks as one eye goes back and forth to wonder, "Should I cover it. Nope too hot." One smoldens clammily as the air conditioner and fans whir sometimes in a mixture of humid and breezy overtones.  

Weather combines to meet most needs for perfect entertainment. Reminding you it is the season again for togetherness, shared experiences, time spent exploring, and moments in solitude. Porches, yards, beaches, and playgrounds beckon our attention to the storm the stampeding feet of little ones returning from fresh soccer slide and tackle and homemade mud pies. The hose is just wound and the sawhorses and tools from the recent project are now put away because weather permitted it after six months. 

Many of us live within a budget, many of us are overextended, and lots have no budget. Within this cosmos of family member lives and friends, somewhere with the parallel universe, we engage in activities that engage us with choice. We all have to do things we do not ingratiate ourselves over. Much of these things have to do with money, time, and worth. All of which can be oscillated in priority in any order given reflection and circumstance. 

Few people are aware of how much time it may cost to save. Options many agree on for saving may be food, cosmetics, peripherealities, and niceties. Dining out and a nice beverage are definite real parts of the human experience for many.
