How to Travel the World During Retirement
“But what will you do all day?” This is a question many retirees face as they prepare for departure from the working world. Among many of the answers are, “I’m going to travel the world and go outside my comfort zone,” because it’s not something we get to do much when we’re working full-time. If […]
Setting Goals and Financial Habits – Do This if You Want to Succeed
“People come to the end of the year and the beginning of a new year, with ambitious goals,” says Lauren Brouhard, Senior Vice President at Fidelity Investments. “Unfortunately, a lot of times life gets in the way.” It’s not uncommon to set New Year’s goals related to money, but we easily get derailed and lose […]

How to Get Started With Mint.com
Like many people this time of year, I’m thinking about my financial goals and resolutions for the New Year. Last year was the first year I diligently tracked each and every expense, using a trusty excel spreadsheet. While I’ve been pretty good at using my system, it’s not a perfect system by any means. So […]
Mint.com Review – Should I Use Mint?
Mint is a FREE online personal finance (web 2.0) service similar to Quicken. Over the past several years I’ve taken mint.com for a test spin with my personal finances. With Mint you have no local software to install, and it’s a service you can access with any browser or mobile device. This review of Mint.com has been […]
YNAB (You Need A Budget) Review – How Does it Compare to Mint?
When it comes to financial planning, we all have our own styles. Mint has been dominant in recent years, but there has also been a great deal of interest in You Need A Budget (or YNAB for short). One of the reasons that YNAB has received so much attention is due to its proactive approach […]
Quicken 2015 for Windows Review – Analyze Your Investment Portfolio
I’ve been a long-time user of Intuit’s Quicken since 1992 — now over 20 years. My family and I track 60+ accounts within Quicken. So to say I’m a power-user of their product would be an understatement. We have every bank account, credit card, asset, retirement, investment, and liability linked within the software. For this […]
Personal Capital Review – Investment Centric Version of Mint.com
As I’ve discussed in my Mint.com review, I think Mint is great as budgeting tool but poor for investment planning. Mint is targeting people who are just starting out with their finances (Generation Y and Z). As I mentioned previously, I wished for a web 2.0 app that focused more on the investing side of […]

MONEY Master the Game by Tony Robbins: Book Review
I just finished reading the latest book from Tony Robbins, Money Master the Game: 7 Simple Steps to Financial Freedom. It’s a long title for a book, but it’s also a large book (almost 700 pages in length). This is the first book from Tony Robbins in over 20 years, so I was excited to […]
