Hey everyone, it’s Finance Fridays again. Today is just a quick post about me “Cleaning Up” my Finances. Cleaning Up? Yea. Usually around this time every year is when I try to look at all my finances and clean things up. Part of this is preparation for tax time, but most of it is just because I don’t really pay attention to the retirement stuff at all. I’m a true passive investor in that I […]

However, when it comes to Finance Fridays and The Philosophy, I wanted to tackle a common problem: “Boredom”. ***Oops, apparently I posted this early on 4/12/2018 instead of 4/13/2018. Oh well!
