I wanted to have a brief conversation about Social Media, the good and the bad. There has been a lot of conversations or “healthy debates” about whether social media is good thing or bad thing. On one hand it’s good to network and to use it for work. And on the other hand, because it is so public; we must be mindful of our posts. I know that there have been famous people who have been fired over what they have posted on social media and I’m sure you all know who I speak of. While it is your right to post what you want, it is also a company right to let you go for any said things that have been said on a public forum. Be mindful of what you post and what you say, you don’t know who is watching.

This blog is something that is near and dear to my heart since it is about rescuing animals! I saw a post on Social Media of someone trying to rehome an animal and they were reaching out for someone to take said animal. While I love the idea of rehoming or rescuing animals and taking them home, I also have seen people selling mixed breeds for over $100 trying to make money off of them. The same goes for breeding animals just for this purpose! That makes me angry seeing how a ton of animals are out there who need a good home. All of my animals are rescues! From the shelter all the way from the streets as well as one that was just a rehoming fee :) For me, as long as you are rescuing animals for the sake of rescuing, please keep doing it! What do you guys think?
Being mindful of social media and trolls. Having a thick skin on social media and it doesn’t matter how famous you are or not famous. You are going to get people out there who are always happy or always mad or always have something to say. Like me! I have something to say and that’s something positive! Be mindful of what you post on social media and get a thick skin!
Ok, who here gives their kids an allowance? Once my kid starts working (sooon) I want to make sure she saves it as well as invests it. I don’t give my kids money or an allowance. The money my kids get are from bday parties and “tooth fairy” money from their grandparents. That money is theirs to spend or save how they see fit and are very very frugal! The reason I bring this up, is because I just saw someone give their kids an allowance of more than what I make a month. Their kid was throwing a fit because it was going down from almost 3k a month to 2k a month. Again, still more than what I make monthly. I think it’s great to give your kids what you think it’s best. But I also think that a kid should earn that money so they can learn how to earn it. My kids are now just finding out how much things cost, I don’t do it to guilt trip them, but to inform them that it’s not easy making said money and that things are an expense. That way they learn to appreciate what they have (not that they don’t) and to think twice before asking for something (not that they go crazy asking for things, because they don’t). What do you all think? Should I start giving my kids an allowance for things they should be doing anyways (chores, good grades, etc) or should I continue how I am and wait for them to start working to appreciate it more?
For people who use it as a way to connect with others from their past, or to use it as a way to be entrepreneurs; it can be both a good thing and a bad thing. In the next few weeks I will be posting videos on my YouTube Channel with comments, concerns, as well as questions that you will want to know. So stay tuned!
