“The Year of Less” by Cait Flanders Book Review
I’m sure I’m the first person ever to mention that Twitter (or X) is both a blessing and a curse. For as much as I despise the discourse that comes from the platform, I’ve also met amazing friends from it as well. Furthermore, even though I’m not spending nearly as much time on the site…

“Easy Money” Audiobook Review
My experience with cryptocurrency has been a bit complicated. While I’ve been interested in the technology for a handful of years, I never bothered to dive too deep into the topic.

Money at 30: “Atomic Habits” Audiobook Review
Oftentimes, when I’m looking for a new book to review, I’ll turn to the Amazon/Audible best sellers list to look for finance-related titles. Each time I’ve done this, near the top of the Business & Money is a book called Atomic Habits by James Clear. While I’d resisted this book previously since it didn’t seem…

Money at 30: “The Winning Playbook” Book Review
Earlier this summer, I opened my email to find an unsolicited PDF copy of an upcoming book in my inbox. Well, it was upcoming back then but, now, The Winning Playbook: Strategies For Life On And Off The Field by authors Rob Welsh and Jonathan Ray Scott is available to all. So, with the football…

Money at 30: “Cashing Out” Audiobook Review
It’s time yet again for another personal finance audiobook review. This month, I had the chance to check out Cashing Out: Win the Wealth Game by Walking Away by Julien and Kiersten Saunders of the Rich & Regular podcast. Having seen this duo at past FinCon events and all over personal finance Twitter, I was…
