Savings is good because one day, you won’t be able to earn money anymore, or if you haven't saved, you're going to be in trouble. And then don't do anything stupid with your money, right? Stupid things cost money.” - Erik Garcia CFP®“The idea of stewardship is simple. The idea is that everything you have, your money, your material resources, they're not yours, they belong to somebody else, right? And you are responsible for being wise with it, spending it wisely.” -Erik Garcia CFP®“One of my values is to have a connection with my family members, connection with my kids, and to build memories with my kids. If that's one of the values and spending money on an activity supplements that, that could be a good experience.” - Dr. Matt Morris LPC & LMFT“The more discretionary income you have, the sloppier you can be financially. The less discretionary income you have, the more careful you have to be.” - Erik Garcia CFP®“I don't care what you spend your money on. If you value it, then spend your money on it. What I tell people is you just need to know what you're spending it on, because there's a good chance you're spending money on something, that is way outside of what you want to spend it on.” - Erik Garcia CFP®Resources Mentioned:Erik Garcia, CFP®Dr. Matt Morris, LPC, LMFTGarcia Financial GroupMatt Morris & Associates5 Pillars of Financial Security: A Guide To Managing Your Money Wisely

Early evidence suggests that heavy load isometrics may be effective for acute reduction in patellar tendon pain in a laboratory setting, but is it effective for managing patellar tendon pain for athletes during their competitive season? How does it compare to isotonics (heavy slow resistance)? Does the type of contraction matter more than the total time that the heavy load is applied? Is Erik too tired to think straight? Do isometric and isotonic exercise programs reduce pain in athletes with patellar tendinopathy in-season?
