"Invest health for your loved ones"

When i had the book given to me by one of our good friends at the hospital i work, it helped me greatly. i will elaborate on the book itself in another blog. The book opened up my thoughts and creativity quite a bit. Then, when i saw the mother of a cardiologist who was morbidly obese coming for a knee replacement with the associated risks, the thoughts started flowing to this subject of "Money and Health, the conundrum"

This blog is the continuation of the blog and if you have not read my earlier blog please go and read and continue>

How to combine money which is so well associated with comforts and health which is so associated with well being? Being healthy would enable one to enjoy the money and its comforts.

Saving money when you need to spend the money is one of the models i have been following since 1993. Saving money when you spend time for a good cause is a concept i had been exposed to when i started doing the charity walk for the cancer in UK.

is a new conceptWe at Sugam Charity thought of a model when one can save money for the time you spend for being healthy! after many trials, the model which we have come up with are the following. one can choose the method one wants depending on his circumstances.

1. Save money in a separate account or pot for the time you spend exercising for example. this could be pounds/dollars/rupees for the time you spend on trying to become healthy. Use this pot as exclusive pot for spending later when you want to have comforts like buying your hi tech headphones for example.

2. Save money for your loved ones when they do exercise is gifting someone money when they spend time for their health. one may say i do not have anyone whom i would like to see them healthy! or do not want to save money for someone else!

3. Spend time for your loved ones to become healthy for them to be able to spend time with you longer in the longer run is even better. this would be for you to exercise more for your loved ones as much as for yourselves. Quantfication can be in the form of money which you can save for them or for yourselves!

Think about these options and start using them in your life. i know few who have started already.

Hang on, it is time for me to exercise! no for work!!!!!!. The anaesthetist has anaesthetised my patient for surgery and the patient is waiting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is very interesting, distinct and looks practical to me. I have started implementing this right now.
