Nobody likes carrying about a bulky wallet that fills up space in their pocket and weight down their pants. Today there’s a growing movement toward minimalism, and that includes how we carry our money and cards around with us. Achieving this minimalist goal with your money is best accomplished through using a money clip. But […]

Can you believe it?  We’re halfway through July and more than halfway through 2015. I used to lament how fast time passed by, feeling like my time was slipping away right through my fingers. Time passes by a bit slower for me these days, but it still seems to slip away faster than I’d like. […]

It’s another year, which is another huge opportunity in front of us to move closer to the versions of ourselves we want to be. Like I recently discussed, I believe there’s a future me that’s already financially independent, waiting for the me of today to reach this eventuality. However, I still need to keep walking the path if […]

The year of 2014 was amazing in so many ways. On the professional level, I took the leap necessary to pursue my passion for writing, taking on blogging and freelancing full-time while leaving my traditional job in the auto industry far behind. Looking at my personal life, I got engaged to my long-time girlfriend, Claudia. And financially, […]

I was recently reviewing my goals for 2014 to see where I’m going to finish for the year. I love setting personal and financial goals at the beginning of every year and then striving to meet them, following up with those goals throughout the course of the year to make sure I’m on track.

Time slips through our fingers whether we like it or not, but I’m anxious to slow things way, way down. Buying our […]

I’m sitting here on a Friday night, super excited for what the coming months and year may bring. I had a great 2013, but that year has passed. I’m now looking forward to 2014 and what I can accomplish. I’m going to push myself harder than ever to see exactly what I’m capable of. And […]

2013 has come and gone, and it did so quite quickly it seems. I don’t know if it’s just me, but time seems to move faster and faster as I get older. The hours seem to blend together and before I know it entire weeks have passed me by. This is a bit of a […]

At the beginning of the year I laid forth my goals for 2013. I wanted to put a list of goals together that would be challenging, actionable and measurable. I believe that to various degrees all four goals meet this criteria. With half of 2013 now behind us I thought now would be a good […]

I’m a big fan of having goals. Goals give you something to shoot for; they’re a target so that you can track your progress. Putting goals down on paper, and then showing them to the world does a couple things. First, by actually typing these goals up I realize them in a physical form. If […]
