How Much House Can I Afford?
How Much House Can I Afford? My best buddy and his wife came to visit me the other week. You know him as O-man, an old friend I’ve mentioned in past blogs. (O-Man–don’t let me blogging about you go to your head, you hear?) Anyway, he told me about some exciting stuff going on in […]

What I Learned From People in Bad Financial Shape
Being a financial coach, I have the ability to see people in both great and bad financial positions.
