How to Pick Rich and Successful Friends?

March 14, 2012 by Justin

Rich and successful friends will make you rich!  In a conversation attributed to F Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway, Fitzgerald said “The rich are different from you and me.”  Ernest Hemingway responded:  “Yes, they have more money.”  Believe it or not the money is not what you want from rich people, but the connections and what you can learn ...

Friday Night Links: Makeover Edition

March 9, 2012 by Justin

Do you need a makeover?  Should you replace your wardrobe?  My wife says I am stuck in the sixties and she is not referring to my age.  She was referring to the 1960s.  Yes, I still wear button down shirts, polo shirts, tee shirts, jeans, khakis and navy blazers.  I still think that the 1960s was the best time for music, fashion and student ...

Friday Night Links: Winners and Losers Edition

February 24, 2012 by Justin

Why are there winners and losers?  Can’t we just get along?  I am not talking about lottery winners!  In sports contests, there is a winner and a loser.  In sports, we talk about a winning season, not winning every game.  Can you think in these terms?  The Academy Awards show is Sunday and I know they are just thrilled to be nominated.  Do you have ...

Given a Choice, What Will You Do?

February 22, 2012 by Justin

Given a Choice, What Will You Do?  Life is a bunch of choices or is it?  Smart choices depend on savings.  People without savings or access to money do not have choices.  Just in case it is not you, I am talking about the people who are at their credit card limit, live paycheck to paycheck, no savings, up to their eyeballs in debt and a lousy job ...

Can’t Buy Me Love

February 16, 2012 by Justin

Living within your means; four little words to live by.  I look back and think how did I get to where I am today? I married very young the first time; I was 20. My first husband and I met when I was in college. We both worked full-time and ran a landscaping business. We owned our first home before my 21st birthday, went out to dinner almost ...

I Love Taxes

February 15, 2012 by Justin

I love taxes which is a huge paradigm shift for me!  I used to hate taxes so much that I used the tax code to reduce my taxes to zero.  Yes, that is right, I paid zero taxes for a very long time legally!  When you invest in assets, you can depreciate them and use depreciation to reduce your taxes.  Is that the only way to reduce your taxes?  No, ...
