One Type of Health Insurance to Avoid

Many people assume that if some health insurance is good, more health insurance is better. That’s not always true.

Debt Can Be A Good Thing (In Moderation!)

The Revolution Has Begun …

Let me tell you what this site is NOT about.

It’s not about clipping coupons. It’s not about putting your dreams on hold. It’s not about wasting your life in a cubicle, under a flickering florescent light, battling rush-hour traffic, so that you can barely eek out an existence.

The Surprising Reason I Read AARP Magazine … In My Twenties

Guess what magazine I’m always reading?

If you guessed something targeted at 20-somethings or 30-somethings, you’re wrong. I love AARP magazine — the bimonthly publication of the American Association of Retired Persons.

Why Retirement is an Old-Fashioned Idea

I was reading through the January/February 2011 edition of AARP Magazine* which featured an interview with George W. Bush. Regardless of how you feel about his Presidency, one comment he made that rang true: retirement is an “old-fashioned” term.

Why a Fixed-Rate Mortgage is the Best Choice

When you buy a home, you will learn that there are two kinds of mortgages: fixed-rate and adjustable-rate.

What’s the difference?

The Crucial Reason Why You Must Think BIG

Money management can get really complicated — if you let it.

People ask me all kinds of nuanced, nitty-gritty questions:

“Should I invest in Company XYZ, given that their price-to-book ratio is not up to recommended standards?” “Which of these five developed-market small-cap value funds do you recommend?” “Should I pay an early-withdrawal penalty […]

You Are Not Entitled to Retirement (and That’s Great News)

Retirement is such a part of our cultural fabric that it’s viewed as a basic human right.

It’s the final chapter in the American Dream: a home, a family, a secure retirement.
