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.

Hey everyone, it’s Finance Fridays again. I’m going to discuss the proverb of “Wealth Lost in 3 Generations” and how I’m going to battle against it. Wealth Lost in 3 Generations? Yea. It’s actually quite interesting. This proverb actually exists in multiple different cultures: “Shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in three generations.” In Japan, the expression goes, “Rice paddies to rice paddies in three generations.” The Scottish say “The father buys, the son builds, the grandchild sells, […]

Hey everyone, it’s Finance Fridays again. Today is just a short post to talk about “Rebalancing”. Rebalancing I’ve talked about rebalancing before. It’s not too difficult of a concept.

However, because your investments can go up and down over the course of the year, you need to find time to rebalance your investments to the asset allocation you are comfortable with. For […]
