Welcome to my blog…
Saturday, January 5th, 2008Hi, my name is Dave Westwood, which you might have figured out by the website (clever, isn’t it?). Welcome to my first blog. So why blog? I came to realize that I needed a new hobby, well, a hobby, actually. I spend too much time online, so if I’m going to be online, I might as well do something useful. While I love to curl up with a good book, my focus seems to not be there lately. My wife falls asleep about an hour before I do usually, so while she’s sleeping, I can put my thoughts in writing.

I’ve had times where I’ve had money, but I’ve also had business failures, bankruptcy and other debt issues. The fact is money doesn’t buy happiness. But the lack of money and not being able to make ends meet can make a person’s life absolutely miserable. It won’t be just about money, because frankly, life is not all about money. But since money plays a big part in most people’s lives (I’m no exception), I think it is something that most people can relate to. Hopefully that is the case and you will relate and keep reading…
