Hey everyone, it’s kind of a late Whatever Wednesdays post… on a Thanksgiving Thursday! Today is just a quick post about some “Black Friday” picks. Black Friday? Yea. I’ve said it before, but if you impulse shop, Black Friday puts you in the Red. That said, there are some good deals going on that I think are worth talking about: Here’s the first one: Fire HD 8 Kids Edition Tablet, 8″ HD Display, 32 GB, […]

Hey everyone, it’s Medicine Mondays again. Today, I’m going to talk about “The Sleep Apnea Learning Curve“. The Sleep Apnea Learning Curve So I’ve been using my APAP Machine for the last few weeks. The first few nights were difficult, but after switching to the full face mask, I’ve been able to settle into somewhat of a “normalish” sleep schedule.

Hey everyone, it’s Whatever Wednesdays again and today is just going to be a short post about my experience with “Disney Plus“. Disney Plus? Yea. Most likely you’ve heard of Disney’s new streaming platform which is supposed to go head-to-head with Netflix. You didn’t think it was pulling all of its content from Netflix back in 2017 for no reason right? In the age of everyone trying to “cut the cord” of cable and get […]

Hey everyone, it’s Finance Fridays again. Today is just a short post about “The Perils of AutoPay”. The Perils of AutoPay? Yea. First things first. I am a big fan of making as many things as I can in my life “automatic”. If it’s something that I will need to pay and keep paying, it’s probably on autopay. Concrete examples of this would be things like mortgage payments and student loan repayments. Also in this […]

Hey everyone, it’s Finance Fridays again. Today is just going to be a short post about highlighting the “2020 Changes” regarding retirement contributions and taxes. 2020 Changes First things first, you can read all about it direct from the IRS: Retirement Contributions 2020 Taxes (44 pages!) However, I will try to break down what I think is important as simply as possible. 401k/403b/457 Contributions 401k/403b/457 contributions will increase from $19,000 in 2019 to $19,500. Catch-up […]
