I once had been a member of a painting class back in high school and I would say that it was one experience I would always remember. Apart from it being the case where I met my future husband, it opened me to the joy and excitement of painting.

Acrylic paints are types of paint that differ from eater color, though they are both water based. Water based paint is something that is soluble with water and can use water as a thinner. It is more often used in large canvas applications. Acrylics come off opaque although it can be thinned down by mixing drops of water into the paint. Solvents called as mediums can also be used to make acrylic more fluid without thinning the color unlike water.

Acrylic has chemical compositions that could dry quickly that are why it is important to place a few drops of water on it on a regular basis to retain its flow.

During the class the kids are handed out with big sheets of clean paper to work with. They are not really given the real acrylic paints but cheap and safe paints that almost have the same color as the real thing. They are allowed to spread paint on the white sheet and not reprimanded if some went to their clothes or faces. These paints are water based and can be washed down with water after.

All of us dream of someday being financially free. Money is certainly not the most important thing in the world but money affects every important thing in the world, as the author Bo Sanchez puts it. Money is not evil, but the love of money is evil. We are all stewards of money and we should learn how to use it and grow it wisely.

It was written in the bible that we should give 10% of our livings produce to God and to his ministry. This is an act of faith. We should learn to give so we can also receive. When we give for Gods service we should be prepared for the numerous blessings that will come our way. Give and you shall receive.

Second step is to free ourselves from bad debt. We should always avoid bad debt like bad virus. Bad debt is debt that does not put money in our pockets. Good debt works the other way around, it brings money to our pocket. A debt used to buy a sports car is bad debt while a loan used to buy a 30 unit apartment is good debt since cash in coming in your pocket in the form of rental. Avoid bad debts.

Try to sell something at the side while maintaining your current work. Selling is like owning a mini-business; youre like a mini-CEO of your company. Crafters and hobbyists are small business people that turned their hobbies to money making opportunities. Nowadays we could see homemade soaps, detergents, toys being sold on craft fairs. Selling will teach you fundamental financial skills that you may not have the chance to learn as an employee.

Fourth step is to wisely invest your money on various growth funds which earns a certain interest annually. You should also study to think about your own financial plans. How do you plan to retire? Do you have money in case you retire at around 60? Save and invest for that time so you can experience a worry-free retirement life in the future.
