Does “taking control of your finances” sound impossible to you? Sure, you might be able to budget for a week or two, but after that, fuhgeddaboudit. C’mon, you’ll never stick to a budget. Right? Does that sound familiar? Listen carefully; you should know, it IS possible for you to master your money, once and for all. Lucky for you, I...
I’m not a coupon cutter — and probably will never be one. My wife, Yael, on the other hand, is the complete opposite. She always knows where to save 0.50¢ on English Cucumbers and a buck off a box of Cheerios. Yael is what I call a “micro-saver.” Don’t get me wrong; I think coupons and price matching are fantastic....
My receptionist, Jessie, one time mistakenly filled up her sister’s car with diesel instead of gas. (If you’re thinking diesel nozzles are designed to be oversized compared to gas — you’re right. She said she had to really “jam it in there.”) After she drove off, the engine light came on, and the whole car seized up — followed by...
Quick Intro: This article was co-written by June Silny (ADHD Coach) and me. The story is hers, and the humour is mine. Hope you enjoy ;). For most people, budgeting is tough. And having ADHD makes it even tougher. Believe me, I know all about it — I have ADHD, and in the past, a slew of financial problems. I...
For years I thought about cutting up my credit cards. In the past, I always had six months of unopened credit card bills piled up on my kitchen table — I couldn’t even look at them. Chugging 6 cups of green juice seemed easier to stomach then opening those envelopes. I’m glad those debt-ridden days are a thing of the...
I wasn’t built be a professional wrestler. Not like my high school buddy Anthony — aka “Santino Marella” — who become the WWE Intercontinental Champion. He’s like a brick wall and I’m just a skinny guy with a big beard. He bodyslams 300-pound men and I couldn’t hurt a fly. But we have one thing in common: We both...
Have you ever opened your credit card statement and felt like you really messed up again? My hand’s raised ;). Those feelings of regret can become overwhelming. Even paralyzing. I know about regrets first hand. Take my Pink Floyd box set I got when I was 16. Bought it, loved it, couldn’t afford it — and regretted it. You can...
If I gave you $500 a month to put towards your debt, what’s the best way to use it? Should you chisel away at the debts with highest interest rate? Or knock off the smaller ones first? I’m going to take you through two strategies to tackle your debt – Debt Avalanche vs Debt Snowball — and I’ll show you...
Becomin’ Hip in Brooklyn Eight years ago I ended up in a wheelchair for 6 weeks. Here’s what happened… One day out of the blue my hip started killing me. I was walking like a penguin. I’m usually good at “pushin’ through the pain” but it was so bad we cancelled our weekend getaway to the in-laws. BTW, this wasn’t...
Dear me, many years ago, Well, it finally happened; I got old. I hit the big 7-0 last week, and it has me thinking about times gone by, about mistakes I’ve made and regrets I hold. Looking back on my life – on our life – I wonder what I could have done differently to protect myself from the financial...
