In September I was invited to an early screening of A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood. Back in the day when I was still working, I actually had some influence. So I was often invited to early screenings of movies and received books and music in advance of release as well. This was so I could help spread the word about the product and help it launch successfully. I'm … [Read more...]
Rich Dad Poor Dad Book Review
I can't remember when I first read Rich Dad Poor Dad but I do remember thinking two things about it... First was, "this has some 'interesting' concepts in it." Second was, "I think this is over my head." Then, through the years, I forgot about the book and never went back to it, as I have with so many others. I considered a re-read a few times, but there was so much … [Read more...]
Living Like Old Money
I'm not sure where I saw it, but someone I follow online mentioned that they were reading The Old Money Book and recommended it to others. Always on the lookout for a good money book, I went to my library's website to see if they had it. Nope. I then hopped on Amazon to check it out. I liked the fact that it had two (not just one) subtitles. They are: "How to … [Read more...]
How Much Economic Outpatient Care is Too Much?
As most of you know, my favorite personal finance book of all time is The Millionaire Next Door. It's not because I think it's "the best" personal finance book (I don't know if there is one that I'd label the best, though I have named my top five) or because millionaires read it more than any other money book. No, it's more personal than that. I love the book because it … [Read more...]
Dave Ramsey’s Two Questionable Numbers
It seems there are two groups when it comes to the subject of Dave Ramsey's financial advice. Group 1 are staunch advocates of Dave's. They love him and his advice to death. They defend him in all circumstances. They are rabid fans, not afraid to share what they've learned and spread the gospel according to Dave. It's worth noting that many of these people have either … [Read more...]
The Crossover Point: The Original Measure of Financial Independence
Back in 1992 I 1) was married for less than a year, 2) had just started to grow my career, and 3) knew virtually nothing about managing money. The terms "FIRE", "financial independence", and "financial freedom" were nowhere to be found, at least compared to how they are today. And they idea of financial independence/retiring early was certainly not as widespread. In fact, … [Read more...]
My Favorite Podcasts
I have been a life-long learner. Even as a young boy, I read quite a lot (mostly fiction) and enjoyed learning new things. As I got older I went to college and then graduate school which involved lots of learning, of course. But instead of stopping there, I kept reading both books and magazines, especially on personal finance and topics related to my … [Read more...]
The Seven Steps to Discovering a Great Retirement
Well, we may have a new contender for "best retirement book"! For years I have recommended How Much Money Do I Need to Retire? as my top retirement book. It's an awesome book and one of the handful that I've ever read 3+ times. The book made my list of the only five money books anyone needs to read -- it's that good. Plus I know the author personally. He's a very … [Read more...]

So now let's pick it up now where we … [Read more...]
Money Lessons from Failure, Part 1
I've been reading a lot lately now that I have a couple extra hours each day (since selling Rockstar Finance). One book that I've enjoyed immensely is How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big: Kind of the Story of My Life. It's written by Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert. I think it's supposed to be a self-help/advice/success book but it's difficult to … [Read more...]
