Money at 30: "Quit Like a Millionaire" Book Review
Earlier this year, I decided that one of my goals for 2020 was to do more book reviews. Somehow, this became both easier and harder to attain as quarantine set in. So, with my local library closed, I instead turned to Amazon to see what titles I should add to my queue. That's how I first came across Quit Like a Millionaire: No Gimmicks, Luck, or Trust Fund Required by...

Money at 30: "Start from Zero" Book Review
Something I often forget about myself is that I am technically a business owner. However, in my mind, there's a big difference between working for yourself and being an actual entrepreneur. With that in mind, I don't often look to books about business or entrepreneurdom (if that's even a word) as I didn't really think they'd apply to me.

That's the most basic idea behind financial independence (FI) — but how does one even...

Money at 30: "Bad with Money" Book Review
When most people think about financial books, I have to assume they envision thick economic textbooks or perhaps a hardcover series from a money guru like Dave Ramsey. In reality, the personal finance books I've reviewed come from authors like Tanja Hester, Grant Sabatier, or Erin Lowry who all gratefully give their takes on money matters that make such topics approachable, actionable, and interesting. That's why I was intrigued when...

Money at 30: "Financial Freedom" Book Review
When my wife and I decided to move from Los Angeles to Springfield, Missouri, we did so in a bid to have more financial freedom. Sure enough, the savings associated with that relocation have helped get us on track for building an emergency fund and getting started with investing. Yet, as I've learned in recent years, there's a sizeable difference between "financial freedom" and "financial independence." Ironically then, the book...
