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? Also…I hate that question, because I don’t think reading a book is going to help. I don’t believe that you can approach personal finance like a topic in school…which…
DetailsTraditional money advice sometimes bugs the crap out of me. Articles about money by so-called money experts often come up with these inane little suggestions that are supposed to help you get control of your money.

DetailsWe’ve all heard that money is a tool to help us get what we want, but… what do you want? Do you want to “treat yo-self” because you’re only just tolerating the job you’re required to do? Do you shop online WAY too much because it’s easier to do that than it is to take…

But nowadays, I think more people are willing to connect the dots between their thoughts, their energy, and their money. When…
