As I sit down to write my October roundup, I’m sad that my favourite month of the year is over, but grateful for the spectacular display of fall colour we enjoyed in October. Along with my goals update, my roundup has insightful posts on retirement learnings, asking the right questions, and keeping the magic in everyday life. The post October 2024 roundup – Great reads and goals update appeared first on Boomer Eco Crusader.

The Amundi Prime Global ETF (PRWU / PR1W) is delisting from the London Stock Exchange (LSE). Though the ETF will continue life on Germany’s Xetra exchange, you can’t own that version in an ISA. You can own it in a taxable account. But that will have serious tax implications if Amundi does not gain UK reporting fund status for the Xetra incarnation of the ETF. Moreover, affected investors are being given just a few weeks’ […]

Got this note from a reader and been obsessing about it lately: “I just wrapped up a 10 – 2 challenge. Here’s how it works – You work on a long term project for 10 minutes a day – every day – for approximately 2 years. The thing is, you have to work on the project every day. If you travel, you have to either improvise or do make up work for the days you missed. I even use a stopwatch to make sure I work on the project for a full 10 minutes. You’ll be amazed at what you accomplish!” Love it! Super easy sounding, right?! And if I whip out a calculator here, hold one sec…  It looks like it actually adds up to… 7,300 minutes!! Or roughly 122 hours! WOW! Imagine dedicating that many hours to *one* single goal of yours? What would you be able to achieve?! How better off would you be? Physically/mentally/professionally? It’s hard to fathom the number of things we let fall by the wayside just because they’re “too big” to start, so let this be the kick in the ass you need to actually GET GOING on a dream that you may be putting off. Or even just something annoying that really needs to get done but you know will take forever! Lol… Literally stop reading this right now and get going if you already have it in your head – I promise it’ll be better than reading the rest of this post If nothing crosses your mind, let me throw out some ideas: Review your finances every day (expenses, credit cards, budget, net worth, subscriptions, insurance, credit score, credit report – plenty of things you could keep tabs on and improve) Declutter your entire house (each drawer, closet, *gasp* garage!) Get a new job/promoted (research, apply, improve skills) Get a new girlfriend/boyfriend/friend (same examples as above ) Write a book! (might feel choppy with only 10 mins applied, but you’ll probably find you’ll spend more once you’re “in the flow”) Start a passion project (blog, book, TikTok, coin collection!) Work out every day (go for a walk, go for a run!, lift some weights, do some yoga, play some basketball – you only have to do it for 10 mins!) Work out your mind every day (meditate, read, crossword puzzles, jigsaw puzzles! (Remember that time I got obsessed with them for like two months??! Man I went bonkers…)) Study the bible (my friend who came up with this 10-2 idea did exactly this – used his time for the past two years to devour the bible and create a “spiritual warfare database!”) Weed/Garden/Landscape (after a month you’ll probably just be *maintaining* from that point on!) Learn something new (a language, a computer language, AI, video editing, baking!) The list goes on and on… And I don’t care who you are, everyone can spare 10 mins a day towards something that’s important to them. The years are going to pass
