In this Episode I discuss debt and credit with Tayne Law Group founder and debt therapist attorney Leslie Tayne. (more…)
We have needed a new fridge for a really long time. The one we have is 14 years old and came with the house when we bought it. The ice maker has never worked and the seals are starting to lose their grip. It was time to get a new one.
If you have gone appliance shopping you know that fridges are really expensive if you want to get a nice one. Heck most of them cost more than my first car and they even have one that connects to your smartphone and will add stuff to your grocery list for you. I’m not sure who needs that but if you want it you can get it for the low cost of $6,299 plus delivery and taxes. (more…)
There is a major problem coming!
I don’t want to sound melodramatic here but it is a really big deal. The politicians in Washington are not going to help us out of this mess in fact they are trying to make it worse.
It is a very subtle undercurrent today but it will build into a tsunami if we aren’t careful and prepare over the next couple of decades. If you are in the working world you know what I am talking about and it is probably something you worry about a few times a day in your subconscious mind. So what is it?!

Regrets we all have them. Many people think about the what could have been if only they had done this or that. Regrets can be very destructive to your financial life.

Of course, you’re excited! Travel, new experiences, time away from the mundane, and time to recharge.
The financial world is an uncertain place. My parents have never been very good with money. This lead me to have an unhealthy relationship and bad habits with money. My parents had decent jobs, but were always struggling to make ends meet because they lived beyond their means. I know whoa is me, everyone has a sob story but not having good financial role models makes it very hard for kids to know what to do when it comes to earning, saving, and investing their money.
What do Ty Warner, Bill Bartman, Ralph Lauren, Ray Kroc, Wally Amos, Steve Madden and Sim Abraham have in common? Besides being successful business men none of them have college degrees. If you have not heard of them you should google them. Their stories are impressive.
