Well I am going to ‘fess up here. I am a HUGE Harry Potter fan. Not only is the story of J.K. Rowling an inspiring “rags to riches tale” in its own right, but the series of books she authored created a magical environment where some of the youth that was previously being […]
For my regular readers, this post is a lot different from every single post that has previously been published on this site. This difference is not due to the actual content of said post, but rather the timing, and more specifically, when this post was created. You see, all my previously published posts […]
Welcome to this session of grand rounds, a collection of posts I have discovered in the blogosphere and have found of interest and hope you do too. Although the term burnout was first coined in the early 70s, it would take several decades before this phenomena, that has gripped the […]
Ride Or Die: A colloquial expression of extreme loyalty to someone or something. This was a very interesting post for me to write. I went into it thinking one way and by the time I did the analysis, I may have undergone a complete 180. The issue in question? A 30 year […]
Well last week I officially became an ex-con, having attended my first FinCon conference. FinCon has become a mecca where financially oriented individuals undergo an annual pilgrimage so that they can be immersed in activities with other like-minded individuals.

We therefore deserve the best contract we can get. Too often, however, we just quickly sign on the bottom line when we are […]
Sir Isaac Newton has rightfully taken a place in the pantheon of great scientists. Newton, Galileo and Einstein make up the triumvirate that is the Fathers of Physics. As a great percentage of my livelihood results from the science of physics it would seem odd that I would be blaspheming the one who helped […]
Thank you for stopping by for another installment in my Divorce and FIRE series. I have been thrilled with the support and comments shown by my readers to these individuals who have really opened up and shared with us a very traumatic time in their lives. Every person who has submitted their story has […]
I first came across Alpha Investing by reading about the company on both Passive Income MD’s and Ms Bonnie, MD’s (now Wealthy Mom MD) sites. I was intrigued and subsequently met with one of the principals, CEO Fark Tari, in person and had a great discussion about real estate. Fark also gave a […]
It is an interesting exercise to look back in time and analyze choices made and then ponder what might have happened had the ball bounced the other way. Most of the time we pine over what might have been, as using the retroscope always gives us 20/20 hindsight. I decided it was time I […]
