Walking For Health And Wealth

Recently the taxi drivers in my area increased their fare from $4 to $5. The residents in the community groused and voiced their disagreement and displeasure with the increase but the fare has remained. $5 for a 3 minute drive, good road and no traffic. Unjust in my opinion but that's the fare. We do have an option however.

I can recall walking out of my area to get to school as a child. The fare at that time was $1 yet children and adults walked morning and evening. Travelling was for bad weather, late hours or if you had baggage like groceries etc. The distances haven’t changed, the climate hasn't changed significantly but our behaviours have. Granted, depending on where you live, walking may not be an option but if it is, give it a try.
A half an hour walk on mornings and evenings will do wonders for your health and your wealth.

When last have you taken a walk with the children or the spouse? These days all we do is go for a drive, never a walk. Next time choose a cool, relaxing walk and save some money on that monthly fuel bill.
