Budget + Environment
Summer is the best time of the year to enjoy outdoor activities and get connected with nature. Check out some easy ways to get connected with your surrounding and also creating more sustainable lifestyle without spending money.
Reduce indoor activity
Spend more time outside. Play with your kids, do gardening, take a power-nap, bath in morning sun to inhale better air. Cutting down indoor time will make your energy
Minimize drive time: walk/hike/run
Avoid driving when possible. Walk, jog, bike, whatever appeals you to maintain healthy lifestyle engaging in physical activity, also getting to your destination.
Healthy meal: incorporate greens/veggies
Healthy meal for healthier lifestyle adds vigor and energy, but also saves time of cooking more if you incorporate raw fruits and vegetables
Natural vitamin D
Getting much use of sunshine not only as a source of vitamin D but also drying up cloths and allowing fresh air to play in home add refreshment in your lifestyle.
Vegetable garden: a fun project with kids/family
It’s a wonderful time to teach your kids to play with soil, and to surprise them with organic sprouts. Also, spending time outside as a family gives us a time to enhance communication and enjoy connectedness as well.
Listen to birds/crickets: time to unplug
Yes, you got it right. Unplug from your technical device and listen to birds instead. You will be mesmerized with music that is offered through nature.
Biden to Propose $6 Trillion Budget to Make U.S. More Competitive
The president’s plans to invest in infrastructure, education, health care and more would push federal spending to its highest sustained levels since World War II.
WASHINGTON — President Biden will propose a $6 trillion budget on Friday that would take the United States to its highest sustained levels of federal spending since World War II as he looks to fund a sweeping economic agenda that includes large new investments in education, transportation and fighting climate change.
Documents obtained by The New York Times show that the budget request, the first of Mr. Biden’s presidency, calls for total spending to rise to $8.2 trillion by 2031, with deficits running above $1.3 trillion throughout the next decade. The growth is driven by Mr. Biden’s two-part agenda to upgrade the nation’s infrastructure and substantially expand the social safety net, contained in his American Jobs Plan and American Families Plan, along with other planned increases in discretionary spending.

Interesting Update






Who Is the Richest Person Ever?

Some people are unfathomably rich. According to Forbes, as of April 8, 2021, Amazon's Jeff Bezos is the wealthiest man alive, with $177 billion to his name.1 That's more than the combined gross domestic product of Myanmar, Laos, and Cambodia, which have around 76 million people between them.
Surely in our modern world, where technology enables the creation and consolidation of truly incomprehensible wealth, we are living among the richest individuals in history. Turns out, we are not. The world's wealthiest individuals lived in earlier times, in eras in which pure wealth was harder to measure.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
  • Jeff Bezos and Elon are among the richest people in the world currently, but in terms of the wealthiest people of all time, they don't make the cut.
  • In history, there are wealthier people than the modern billionaires, particularly when you consider those whose wealth and spending could impact the overall health of the economy during the times in which they lived.
  • Mansa Musa, the 14th-century emperor of the Malian Empire, spent so extensively that it caused hyperinflation in Cairo and Medina
  • Emperor Atahualpa was so wealthy that gold and silver released into Europe following his death caused high inflation and an economic slowdown.

Amazon's Jeff Bezos, Tesla's Elon Musk, and LVMH's Bernard Arnault are the modern world's wealthiest people.
