If you never thought your mug could change your life, think again ;) From my new favorite reader of the blog, Alyssa: Good morning J! I was looking through the office coffee mugs this morning for the biggest mug available to try to get enough caffeine to get me through the day and I found this gem. Not only does it provide the sweet sweet goodness of coffee, but it comes

A Bunch of #Wins Martin Luther King Would Be Proud of ;)
Happy MLK Day! Did you know he was also a personal finance proponent back in the day? He once wanted to get what he and others called a "Freedom Budget" going that offered up a "practical, step-by-step plan for wiping out poverty in America during the next 10 years." Which of course we're still a ways away from these days (hell - we can't even keep our government
It’s Not About The Money, It’s About The *Lifestyle*
I don't know if you caught it, but in our last net worth update I slipped in something pretty nonchalantly that really should have been more chalant ;) We’ll see if we reach [a million dollars] before the downturn, but either way it really doesn’t matter as it’s not the *amount* that counts, but the *lifestyle* it gives you. It took me a good 6 or 7 years to finally come to

“Simple money questions I ask myself”
Check out this email I got in response to our post on Mr. Wendal the other day. So many great questions to reflect on! Money is a tool, something we need, and has only what value society ascribes to it. Too often, we forget this. Society, as a whole, doesn't always remember to value all life, or even all humans. Society is made of the spiritually conscious and the
“American Ninja Warrior Changed My Life”
Okay, so I'm sitting next to someone at Starbucks right now that just inspired the crap out of me. She asked me if I worked online because she always sees me typing away, and when I told her I did, she immediately jumped into her life story, wondering if it was worth sharing as well on a blog or something. 45 minutes later I gave her an emphatic "YES GIRL!!! GET THAT $HIT

Guys, you HAVE to read this post by my friend David Cain - it's so good!! And EXACTLY the stuff we need to be thinking about as we go along our journeys here: Go Deeper, Not Wider I don't often get sucked into articles like this, but wow.... such a great piece on perspective and inspiring change in our lives - or rather, FOCUS in our lives and not changing with every
The Legacy, and Money, of Dr. Martin Luther King [And The “Freedom Budget” For All Americans]
"There is nothing in all the world greater than freedom. It is worth paying for; it is worth losing a job for; it is worth going to jail for. I would rather be a free pauper than a rich slave. I would rather die in abject poverty with my convictions than live in inordinate riches with the lack of self respect." - Martin Luther King, Jr I was originally going to blog about how
#Money Motivation
There's a lot of doom and gloom in the world today. Here are some emails I've saved over the months which can't help but get you to smile and be proud of your fellow man :) None of this money stuff happens over night, but it's amazing what a little patience and just plain CARING will do once you set your mind to things!
