Yup, as of last night I officially became a money coach after having my first (paid) session with a client :) And as you can probably assume ‘cuz we’re all money nerds here, it was fun as shit to help her, haha… You think looking over your own money is fun, try diving into another person’s world! I had been playing with this idea of […]

This is going to sound scammy*, I know, but millions of people are missing out on billions of dollars they’ve forgotten about over the years. $58 Billion to be exact (as of Jan, 2013). And today I’m happy to report that number just dropped by $355.38! Woohoo! That’s my wife’s check above she just claimed from the great state of Maryland this weekend :) How […]

It’s Not About The Money…

I caught myself saying something pretty lame the other day, making me then feel old as balls: “The younger generation doesn’t appreciate money these days.” It seemed accurate in the context of our conversation, but then again I could be totally wrong. After all, what does a guy in his mid-30′s know about being in his early 20s again? He can’t even remember his 21st […]

Just call me the next Justin Timberlake, baby! Or, rather, just never call me again, haha… What you’re about to watch is really really bad – I’m not kidding. And I’m not talking about just the ghetto quality either. I wouldn’t be surprised if your computer screens cracked mid-way through watching ;) But when I heard there was a contest to win $1,000 for just […]

5 years ago I decided to try out a new tipping rule. Instead of always trying to figure out how much to tip someone, I decided it will be a flat 20% no matter what to save me both time and frustration. Even when I get shitty service. The results so far? I’m a Freakin’ Genius. 5 years down and I honestly couldn’t be happier […]

If you’ve been following me on Twitter this week – and you really should be, Sexy Pants – you’ll notice I’ve reverted back to my high school days of telling jokes again. Some of these gems have included, “Why do the Irish keep their money in banks? (Because it’s Dublin!)” and “Why do accountants make good lovers? (Because they’re great with figures!)”. Now some of […]

Do You Have Money Left Over Each Month?

July 16, 2014
Thumbnail image for Do You Have Money Left Over Each Month?

The whole point of budgeting, besides getting an A from yours truly, is to figure out how much “extra” you’re playing with every month. When all your bills are paid, how much do you have left over? Or an even better question to ask yourself – is there *anything*? As crazy as it sounds, your boy J. never cared about budgets until just a few […]
