Tweet People have recently been asking how I keep my monthly entertainment expenses so low especially with 2 small kids (last month was only $12). The truth is, keeping expenses low is not hard if you have a strategy. In my case, I have a lot of fun and so do my kids – [...]
Tweet This morning I read a post at Brip Blap about investing for young people. I always enjoy Steve’s articles (including this one) and I found this post a good muse for my own recommendation on how to start off your investing life after college.
