Book Review – The One-Page Financial Plan by Carl Richards
I have to say that I absolutely loved this book. The One-Page Financial Plan by Carl Richards is a masterpiece in simplicity. His ideas aren’t necessarily new and the book covers a lot of the same ground as many others. BUT Richard’s ability to distill important ideas in to simple, memorable, and teachable images is a gift. It’s incredibly accessible …
James Altucher on 401k’s
I love James Altucher. I love his writing style and his honesty and willingness to tell you about his fears, failure and embarrassing moments. I’ve bought all of his recent books and I listen to his podcast. I think 10 ideas a day, and the Daily Practice are really important ideas I’ve implemented in my life. Having said that, I ways …

Vets, Tow Trucks, Busted Wheels and Emergency Funds
Well it’s been a rough month on the budget. The frugalmobile has over 150k on the odometer, over 30 MPG, and it’s ugly as can be. Unfortunately, it’s decided to fall apart. Problems abound and even with our extremely helpful and honest local mechanic, we were out $700 to fix the old sucker. Hopefully that’s the last repair bill and the faithful …
Book Review and Notes: Your Money or Your Life
I recently finished up a classic, Your Money or Your Life by Joe Dominguez and Vicki Robin. This is the progenitor of the entire Financial Independence movement (at least the modern version) and I’d never picked it up. I’m glad I did. While a lot of the information isn’t revolutionary 25 years later, I’m sure it was a game changer at the …
This is why you save
As many of you know, I live in Houston. While most of the country is celebrating lower prices at the pump, the companies in this town are cutting budgets, lowering forecasts, and worst of all, laying off massive numbers of people. The stories are always heartbreaking and you never want to see somebody lose a job, but I also keep …
Side Income Case Study: Taxes
I have a friend with a CPA, that like me works for a major oil and gas firm. I always knew he was working his side hustle but I didn’t how well he was actually doing. In a few years of hard work, my friend has managed to amass almost $30,000 per year in side earnings! 2,500 per month! That’s massive. …
