Living for today - Planning for Tomorrow
There are so many choices in life that it sometimes seems overwhelming. Even if you want to make all the right decisions, inevitably you make a few mistakes. I’m probably a poster child for having good intentions, but failing to make the best decisions. I think that many of the traits we have are learned from family and friends. If you grew up in a
Anyone who really knows me, knows that I’m a big fan of cars. I always have been, and probably always will be. Due to this fact, I’ve learned a few hard lessons about how much money you can burn up with this passion. Well, I’m done making mistakes on that front. I don’t plan to “overspend†on a new car any time soon. Here is

Well, here it is. A few days before the drop dead date to file your taxes. I’m betting that most people that haven’t filed already probably owe the government money. For everyone that is sitting on their refund check laughing about how smart they are, you might want to stop and think. If you received a large refund from the IRS this year, you may
As you’ve read through all of these articles, have you found yourself thinking that you should have done a few things different? Could you be better off now if you had made different decisions earlier on? Do you over spend every month? Do you under-invest every month?
