Glad you’re feeling better!

I am not a traditional math student. I always like geometry if we didn't have to do proofs! That be as it may, I married an engineer! Very traditional math guy! I guess I keep my finances very simple and that helps me get through it faster...for me, simple is just a notebook which my husband translates. Then I go over all the stuff he has done, so I know where we stand! I really get in a bad mood about it, though! Isn't it awful school turned me off from the fun of the subject?</p> Argh!

Break the wall of the thought that math is boring and instead CAN be very creative. I have used image techniques when my daughter was in MS (now in HS)to get over the fear of a concept in math. It worked. Teachers were impressed as well. Personally, I don't think I do anything creative except I like keeping track in a notebook instead of those annoying little checkbook ledgers. I remember in my years working in accounting...I'd always have key colors for 'totals' in Excel, ect.</p> Oh, you struck a cord with me…I even thought of going back to school to become a math teacher.

There are a lot of connections in perception and problem-solving that are remarkable similar, dissimilar though they may seem on the surface! My younger son and I both have the facility but both have no interest in math. As for finances, I'm just like you. Sitting down and planning our upcoming seriously heavy expenses yesterday did a lot to alleviate the anxiety. Maybe I should even do some creative spreadsheets, too! :)</p> I once read an interesting article connecting art and math.

Not that all the mathematicians accepted me… they thought I had to be an Arts student… oh well maybe there are just a few of us that see it as a creative pursuit.

I’m also with you on not finding it so easy to apply myself to the financial side – I especially dislike tax forms… shudder… yes that’s definitely one of my weak areas…

As for how to make them more creative – for me its important to really let my unconscious have all the facts, then sleep on them, then just do it. And then its usually all sorted….

I do hope you are feeling better much soon – I’ve not been well lately either…
