We all know the timeless saying “An apple a day keeps the doctor away” that will forever teach us that a life lived with healthy habits will keep us from illness and medical conditions. With the cost of living rising the way it is in today’s day and age, perhaps “A special a day keeps the bank balance at bay” can help us remember that livin’ the good life – as they say – doesn’t have to surrender to our dreaded bank account balances.
