Many people might think that financial success is all about the money…I mean, yes, it is? In that it matters how much you can keep. And the more you keep, the more you can leverage that savings. But aside from investing strategy, there is so, soooooo much more to being financially successful. You might be…
I’ve been thinking a lot about my fitness journey over the past few years (two steps forward, one step back). Now, to be clear, I am not ULTRA FIT…I am just healthier, smaller and darn proud of making regular exercise a commitment in my life. But for my personal finance peeps, I think there are…
I get asked ALL OF THE TIME for the best personal finance book out there (uh, mine!). But it really depends on your criteria, doesn’t it? I don’t believe that you can approach personal finance like a topic in school…which is the way a lot of people start out trying to do it. You think…

Nobody wants to fail. Not consciously anyway. But sometimes not changing is easier than changing. We’ve all experienced this, right? It’s easier to stay in bed than get up and go for a run. It’s easier to leave our money in the old company 401k than figure out what to do with it. It’s easier…
