NAFCU Weekend Reading Pile
Compiled by Anthony Demangone, Powered by NAFCU
Wish me luck tomorrow. I'll be riding a dirt bike for the first time ever.
I originally signed just Briggs up the class (a dirt bike boot camp). But a few friends said I would be missing out on sharing the experience with Briggs, not to mention learning how to ride a dirt bike. I wasn't sure. But ultimately, I had to agree.
They were right. Life is about experiences and trying new things that stretch us. It pushes us into a new box. And that new box is larger, giving us better perspective.
So, as you read these articles this weekend, think good thoughts. And if I survive, you'll hear from me next week!
Now, on to this week's reading pile!
