Why buy?
What will make life easier? We of course get sold all the time with ads telling us that a product will make our lives easier. And some of us are more easily swayed than others. I do not always make the right decisions, but when purchasing an actual product, I like to ask what problem [...]
Finding our advisors.
How do we find the information and the people to help? As I learn about financial strategies through my line of work, I realize how easy it is to get through life without knowing what you can do, what you could save if you knew, etc. However, for some of us, trusting the people with [...]
