JB, You are damn right, great advice! TKO "Treadmills suck! They’re for hamsters, rats and fat people that don’t know any better; good for hanging stuff in the basement though." That is the FUNNIEST THING I EVER HEARD ABOUT TREADMILLS! I hate them too ;-) MGL,

Awesome post FB, always relevant and on time. Isn't it amazing how physical and financial performance both require effort to get started, but once you get going it becomes a habit that seems so natural. It appears that laws of physics applies to both, 'bodies in motion stay in motion and bodies at rest stay at rest'. Saying that you work hard at either isn't enough though, tracking progress is essential for success. Start tracking expenses, workouts and what you eat. Treadmills suck! They're for hamsters, rats and fat people that don't know any better; good for hanging stuff in the basement though. Do you know anybody who got in shape by only walking/running on a treadmill? Still don't believe me, check your local cardio room, they are filled to the brim with chubsters. There's has to be some co-relation between the physical and financial shape of Canadians. Take the store Old Navy as an example, it's like Gap but for fat people? I’m not talking a little overweight, I’m talking people with some serious weight issues, really fat. My family went shopping there last Sunday for a Halloween costume for our little girl and as we stood in a long line of people since only two cashiers were open, I was really saddened by the rampant obesity of Canadians both young and old. I’m no Slim Jim either, rather a stocky 200 lbs 6 footer. This was our first shopping trip for clothes since the baby was born, last December. I always thought that the shoppers I see at Walmart when buying baby diapers, were fatter than the general public, but this was even worse. When did Canada get so fat? Cheers to your and your readers Health and Wealth, TKO from Ontario MASSIVE RESPECT!

If you've never saved a penny before, don't try to max out your 401K this year. Start with $50/month or $100/month. Ease into it... don't get burned out.

I would add one more to your list- <b>it's easy to be intimidated by others</b>. One thing I have always hated about the gym are the gym rats who hang out and pump big weight while I wander around like a lost and scared child. It can be intimidating and uncomfortable. Trying to improve your finances is the same way- you can look around and see succesful people (especially on personal finance blogs) and think "I must look like an idiot", or "I'll never be that good". And that can be discouraging. That’s a great analogy.
