We are coming up on a special episode of the Living With Money podcast this week: Episode 40! It's been a fantastic 10 months watching this podcast grow, and so much fun getting to interact with a number of different personalities. Hearing people's stories and...
The New York Jets game yesterday was a good analogy for investors with a financial plan. (The Mets season is over, so my sports comparisons now shift to the Jets) The Jets came out with a good gameplan and didn't let 'perfect' get in the way of 'good enough'. Did...
These last few days in the market have been difficult. The frustrating thing, for me, is everyone's obsession with finding the reason WHY it happened. Brendan wrote about finding scapegoats in his latest post (linked below), and I think we could all learn a valuable...
As EVERYONE at this point knows, the stock market went down yesterday. It does that from time to time. A tweet from Morgan Housel summed up my thoughts on the matter perfectly when he said, "Today was the worst decline since the February decline you don’t remember...

Did you know, as humans, our brains are wired to make emotional, bad decisions when investing? There are a number of different biases that exist that prevent us from making the best decisions possible. I talk about this, and more, with Dr. Daniel Crosby in this...
A lot gets made of politicians and their impact on the markets. Whether it's a Republican in office, or a Democrat, people like to speculate how much they impact the moves in the stock market. Tom wrote a great piece yesterday (linked below) about why it really...
It's finally time for some playoff baseball! Unfortunately, my favorite New York Mets are not in the postseason this year, but that doesn't mean they're not making headlines. Owner Jeff Wilpon made some pointed comments after the season ended, and I plan on breaking...
