Back when I wrote this post on July 6, 2012 I had just negotiated a severance from a finance job I held for 13 years. I took a leap of faith and haven’t looked back. Back then, millions were still unemployed from the 2008-2009 financial crisis. Hence, I wanted to search for empathy for the

In a close 5-4 decision, the Supreme court says Congress was acting within its powers under the Constitution when it required Americans to carry health insurance or pay a penalty!

Saving money is about principle sometimes. Let me explain. For the past two years I’ve taken the bus to work after driving for 7 years prior. The company re moved our free parking benefits and I wasn’t about to pay $350/month to park in a garage just 5 miles away. I have a love hate

Anybody want to guess what happened on Wed, January 19, 2010 right before the market fell off a cliff? The people got rocked.
