This page will become a static page where I will create an index of my favorite posts for this site, so folks new to my writings can wander through the posts that I feel the best about.
Personal Financial and Planning
- Free Banking
One of my favorite topics on how to get your bank to give you FREE banking for a while at least.
Children
As most of you know I have kids and I write about their effects (affects?) on my financial life.
- Real World Example: Kids Allowances
Where I outline a system to ensure kids get their allowances on time. My kids were pretty mad at me until I implemented this system, and as a bonus, I am still watching them (financially).
Investment
- Einstein: The Rule of 72
Understanding what a doubling period is, and how the rule of 72 can help you with this concept is important to the start of your investment plan.
Parables
In personal finances sometimes a lot can be learned in parable format.
- Parable: Money and the McDonald’s Play Structure
How can my son getting stuck in a McDonald’s play structure have anything to do with money? Read and you will be amused to see where I went with this story. - Best Financial Advice Ever Given
Outlines a parable my Dad told me when I borrowed a large amount of money from him. I have used this parable many times myself. - Don’t Pass it to the Other Team
How does the Carleton basketball coach have anything to do with finances? Read and you’ll see a long stretch.
Humor
I enjoy a good laugh, mostly at my own expense and here are some of my favorite personal finance posts with a humorous angle.
