For your consideration: WTH!

Some of you might be wondering:

Well, this is an easy question to answer. We took a vacation.

Here are five top reasons to take a vacation, and why they can ultimately benefit the rule of your money:

1. Everyone needs a break: No person on earth can work each day, all day on the same thing. This is rudimentary management. If you don’t take a break, you get burned out. What’s more, when you take a physical break from what you’re doing, you usually wind up increasing your cognitive concentration on the philosophies and motivations behind what you do with your time. In essence, a vacation will produce less work, but foster more ideas for improvement.
2. Sometimes you save money on vacation: Of course, if you’re going to Disney, then this doesn’t apply. If you’re staying at home, however, for a week or two and not doing your typical Subway or McDonald’s lunch each day. You’re saving.
3. You can use that vacation time to look for a new job: This is one of our favorite activities to do on vacation. You’re not working, but you’re looking for more investments and avenues for riches. You’re applying full-time, rather than part-time, effort to this task.
4. You reconnect with your personal life: Let’s face it. You gotta have friends and family. This is where most of our money comes from—the hook ups. Focusing less on activities, like work, that take you away from your personal relationships leaves you emotionally and LITERALLY alone. And, as much as the media likes to expound the virtues of the reverential power of people like Sam Zell and Warren Buffett, The Money Kings promise you that these “god” don’t act alone.
5. What are you living for?: This is the final benefit. You gotta be living for something. Vacation is a great time to refocus on this idea and then plan accordingly. The more likely you’re in tune with what you really enjoy in life, the more likely you’ll perform in all aspects therein.

Happy Vacationing.
