Hope your Shrive is well and truly done, and you are ready for the coming of Lent tomorrow. Shrove Tuesday or Pancake Tuesday is a fun day at our Church, where we have a pancake and sausage dinner and folks get together and have a meal together.

It’s an ending and a beginning kind of event. It’s the end of something that you are going to try to “give up” for Lent and the beginning of a journey to see whether you can live up to your promises.

Every day in your financial and fiscal planning life can be like this if you give yourself a chance, and just START doing something about your financial plan (and your life plan, if you want to go to that grand a scale). It’s really trite to say, but each day is the first day of the rest of your life (yes I can’t believe I typed that one either). Begin something new today, remember Lent does not just mean to give something up, you can take something on as well.
