We had a ball (literally) for July 4th!  In my efforts to save money, I decided against the usual cookout for friends and family and spent the day relaxing.  My dad was in town so the boys spent time with their grandpa while I received some much needed down time.  Of course, I...

It's heating up outside!  That means you will start seeing more and more yard sales popping up.  I decided to try my hand at yard sales for 3 weekends in the month of June.  I opened it up to family and friends to see what would happen.  I will preface this by saying that...

I think I have been bitten by the Vlogging bug.  I am going to try to record a video a week!  I have fun talking about money and this allows you to see me in my element!  I get so many questions about investing.  To most people, it is uncharted territory so it may be hard to...

I don't believe I finally made a video!  It was a lot harder than I thought it would be.  I believe this was my 5th take!  I don't envy actors and actresses at all!  I hope you enjoy it.  Let me know what you think.  

Also, I left all of the bloopers intact....

I want to feature your questions on my blog, YouTube channel, and podcast.  Submit here and you could be featured!  Let's continue the money talk!

If I had $1 for every person that I talked to that was unhappy at their job I would be a millionaire (ok maybe a thousandaire) but nevertheless we go in day after day usually living paycheck to paycheck.  Recently, I quit my job.  It was abrupt and no, I didn't have another job to go...

If you haven’t read my posts Retirement 101 and Retirement 102, I highly recommend starting there first. It will give you a decent foundation on retirement accounts and all of the different options available. Now, I want to focus on the potential pitfalls you could encounter...

You have options!  As we discussed in the Retirement 101 article, there are many different retirement accounts to choose from when you are planning for the future.  You also probably noticed that I said "available in traditional and roth".  Our next step is to define what...

I just sold my 2016 Honda CR-V!  I bought it brand new and still owed about $21,650 but I felt like it was time.  Car payments make a huge difference in any debt free journey especially when they are around $400 a month!  That's not taking into consideration the taxes,...

One word: underrated.  Retirement is key to your wealth building.  Yes, you can be frugal and save as much as possible.  Yes, you can aim to be debt free and be intensely paying off your accounts but what are you doing for your future self.  Is your future self broke while...

If you have been following my blog and social media, you know that I am on a journey to be debt free by 30. This is going to take a lot of work but I am up for the challenge! 3 more years and counting!

Well, this week I had to get about $2000 worth of housework done and trust me the contractor...

I just came back from traveling Monday.  I hope you all did not miss me too much!  I decided to take a trip to DC.  Visiting the many museums has been on my bucket list since high school.  I am a true nerd!  So, for this birthday, I decided to go ahead and cross it off!...
