s I was watching one day, it started to amaze me how comfortable the birds were jumping from post to post on the feeder or from branch to branch. Often times at a distance taller than the bird itself. It dawned on me that the reason they are so comfortable taking this risk was because they knew if they made a miscalculation, they had wings. Today, we talk about how side hustles give us wings – and asset protection.
After watching some of their interactions it became clear that something spectacular was happening. The patient was attending their own funeral. They were cognizant enough to have conversations with these people that clearly loved him. They shared memories and times together. What would you discuss if that happened?
I have posted three posts every week for 100 straight posts. This has occurred since the blog started at the very end of November 2017. Today’s post will break away a little bit from our typical content covering wealth building, financial independence, and wealth building topics to follow the progress of both this site. It’ll be fun to look back a few years from now and see where we were at this point. We will discuss traffic, my most popular posts, and much more.
Let’s bring you back to my roots as a philosophy major in college. Everything in philosophy is about “isms.” Some of them are religious philosophies like Buddhism and Judaism, or pluralism versus monotheism. Others are political in nature like communism or fascism.

The realization hit me the other day while reading the book A Doctor’s Guide to Eliminating Debt. At the end, the book poses a great question: “What are you retiring to?” It talks about the finish line. So, I’d like to discuss five things that I’ll do much more often when I cross my financial independence (FI) number, or life after financial independence.
The more and the faster you get into the market, the more that magical compound interest will do for you. I am a proponent of this theory. Yet, what I want to focus on today is “not leaving memories on the table.” It’s not all about the Benjamins. .
[This is a guest post from Lawrence B. Keller, CFP®, CLU®, ChFC®, RHU®, LUTCF. It is a basic post, but drives home a solid point, which is to discuss how to choose the insurance sales person with which you should work. Given that I’ve had some bad experiences with an insurance salesman myself, I thought … Read more
Charity is defined as “the voluntary giving of help, typically in the form of money, to those in need.” While charity via giving money is a good thing (and one we encourage!) it is not the only form of charity.
