Okay, full disclosure, this post has nothing to do with those three individuals going to a bar. It was just a catchy headline. Now that I have your attention though… Continue reading
The May 2019 issue of Money magazine was delivered to our office recently with a large picture of Dave Ramsey on the cover.
The cover reads:
“The Debt Slasher: Broke millennials are flocking to financial guru Dave Ramsey – is his advice sound?”
The piece about Ramsey in the magazine starts by telling the story of an event Ramsey held in Grand Rapids, MI back in February. The story says “Grand Rapids was blanketed in an ice storm earlier that afternoon, so much of the crowd had to drive through miles of slush to make it in. But 4,000 people still showed up, Ramsey said later.”

“Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”
Most of you will recognize that quote from the timeless movie Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. And if you don’t? Please go watch it. Now. Seriously. Go.
This line from a light-hearted comedy has turned into a seriously deep quote about life. Today I wanted to share what this quote means to me.
Life is happening right now. Look around. These moments will never happen again. We only have one life, and we don’t know how long it’s going to last.
When I started the Living With Money podcast, I really wanted to hear everybody’s individual story. Every person on this planet is unique. Everyone has different stories. Everyone has different experiences. No two people are the exact same.
For the last couple of months I’ve been concluding all of my interviews with the same question:
“Whether it is a personal or professional thing, what is one piece of advice that you’ve received that has always stuck with you?” Continue reading
When I first settled on the name for this website ‘Living With Money’, it was kind of an arbitrary name. It was broad enough for me to talk about a number of different topics, while still having some sort of focus.
Lately, I’ve found myself thinking more in depth about the name, and what it truly means to live with money, so I wanted to flesh it all out for you.
In a world consumed by social media and comparing oneself to the rest of the world, it’s easy to fall victim to the game of trying to constantly portray success.
How could it not? Continue reading
