Mornin’, y’all! You might have seen this already if you follow me on Twitter or my Newsletter, but I had to share it here too because I’m currently OBSESSED with these guys! And not just because they created COINS to give out! Which they did!! ;) It’s a project here in DC called “Breadcoin“, and they’ve pretty much created their own currency which can be […]

Morning guys! Found this song on MP3 doing my daily decluttering challenge, and was blown away by how powerful it still is! Touches on so many things we talk about here – charity, freedom, introspection, and even those on which we don’t, but are still unfortunately very prevalent in our society. Was super moved all over again at how beautiful this song is, and hopefully […]

A Different Way of Looking at Spending?

April 10, 2017
Thumbnail image for A Different Way of Looking at Spending?

I’ve been trying something new lately where every time I have to spend money on something – whether a need or a want – I try to look at it as I’m “supporting” the place my money’s going to vs. “I’m spending my hard earned money” there. The effect to my wallet usually remains the same, but what I’ve noticed is that I’m starting to […]

Hi guys!!! I’m soooooo excited to share this today. We finally got our philanthropy project off the ground! Check it out –> rockstarfinance.com/community-fund/ Now I know what you’re thinking, “Ugh – another charity project out there, borrrring….” To which I’d respond, “See what we’re doing first Judgy McJudgerton! I guarantee you’ve never seen this before ;)” To which you’d probably hit back with, “Okay fine – but I’m […]

Storing Treasures in Heaven vs. Earth

I recently got an unsubscription notice from someone who no longer wants these articles emailed to them (*tear*). Here’s the reason he put as why: I changed my philosophy on money and will be storing my treasures in heaven and not on this earth. At first I was like “Rock on, man. What a great reminder!” as I’m personally working on being better at giving […]

Do You Give Money to Panhandlers?

December 17, 2014

I did, twice this week. And each time my wife scolded me. She tells me it’s smarter to give to “legitimate” charities because you never know if these panhandlers are lying. Which is true, you don’t, but what if they aren’t? What if they do have cancer and no home and 5 kids who can’t afford to eat dinner that night? What if they are […]

So something funny happened yesterday as I was doing a little work. I was in search of a Flickr photo relating to kids and money for an upcoming Rockstar Finance post, and amidst my scanning I see this pic featured above of these signs promoting “Free Money Day.” Initially I just kept going and tried not getting sucked into the black hole that is the […]

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 […]

Now that Black Friday and Cyber Monday, and SexyTime Saturday is over (oh sorry, did you  miss that one? ;)), it’s time to get back to what this Thanksgiving time was REALLY supposed to be all about – giving, over getting. So when my friend Nate told me about this new day that’s really taking off, I couldn’t pass on the chance to participate and […]

(Guest post by Jenna of Beyond The Bridge, PDX) I live in Portland, Oregon. The highest homeless population in the U.S. I volunteer with a group of awesome people on mission to serve this community, but I have a secret to tell: I don’t give money to our guests. (That is what we call the homeless we serve) Personally, I struggle with the belief that, […]

(Guest post by Charlie while J$ reads The Millionaire Next Door to his baby ;)) I suffer from what people call male pattern balding. My grandpa was completely bald by age 30, my dad is 59 now and doing everything he can to “comb over” the problem, and then there is me. I’m 35 and I’ve still got a lot of “crops” left on the […]
