ChooseFI – The Ultimate Book in Planning for Financial Independence

October 7, 2019 By Deanna 1 Comment

Today’s blog post is a book review for one I highly recommend. Dave Ramsey got me thinking about investing. However, the ChooseFI Radio podcast got me realizing how I could actually start investing. To say it had a monumental impact on my life is not a hyperbole. Moreover, I might not have had the courage to start this blog had it not been for the ChooseFI podcast.

I was thrilled when I saw that Chris Mamula teamed up with Jonathan Mendonsa & Brad Barrett to write a book. They took the many principles espoused on the ChooseFI podcast and put them in a linear fashion. Now you can read the ChooseFI book with much enjoyment.

The Reality of Addiction

September 30, 2019 By Deanna 2 Comments

It is with a very heavy heart that I write this article. However, I feel I must because for anyone facing drug addiction and/or alcoholism it’s a very serious matter. Good friends of mine lost their son this past week to addiction. Tomorrow they will bury him.

Out of every tragedy, there can be blessings. This family is already clinging to the blessings they know and I’m in awe of their faith. This post is a dedication to the late John Luke and the unwavering faith of his family. If you are a praying person, please lift up John, Liz & Melissa.

Post-Tax Investing with M1 Finance

I always recommend investing in your tax-advantaged accounts before doing any after-tax investing. The reason is if you can reduce your taxable income now, great. Chances are when the time comes to withdraw that money in retirement, you’ll be in a lower tax bracket.

Once you are maxing out your tax-advantaged accounts and are looking to invest more, you might be interested in opening an individual investing M1 account. This post is to give you my review of M1 Finance which is where I invest my post-tax monies. However, you can do tax-advantaged investing with M1 as well!

I was fortunate to go to my second FinCon this September. Last year I went to my first FinCon in Florida on a scholarship as a new blogger. I went this year as a speaker. It’s amazing what a difference one year can make!

Anyway, this post is designed to give tips to anyone attending any type of conference and, in my opinion, how to get the most out of it. Secondly, you’ll be able to read about some of my adventures at FinCon19. Additionally, I’m including some fun photos (permission asked first).
