California money (agriculture)

Driving the Central Valley of California is an enlightening experience.  Agriculture is everywhere in abundance.  Agriculture made California wealthy.  The richness of this resource supports the economy of the state, the nation, and the world.

"Take five" along Interstate 5 and learn.

Good and bad times

Saving money is very simple.  But it is hard to continue putting money away if you think of negative things that could happen.  The more you save the more you worry about it.  There is pressure to spend money before it "goes away."

But we need to continue saving even with this pressure.  The trick is making saving a habit that flows through life during good and bad times.  During good and bad times you eat breakfast, go to school, go to work, pay bills, go out to the movies, etc., etc.  Simply make saving a part of that.
