On July 18th, I responded to Mrs. Micah Single Step Personal Finance Challenge and said that I will try to finish up my estate planning in 2 weeks. Alas, I am a procrastinator and didn’t get anywhere near completing it. So I committed to complete the first of four steps in the Suze Orman’s [...]
Just a quick update about my 100 push ups…my arms are killing me! I thought I would’ve recovered enough to reattempt the week 1 day 1 program yesterday, but apparently not. Hopefully, I can try again Monday, but I am not sure.

“The Earth couldn’t supports its 6.6 billion residents if everyone lived like a typical American. Consumer Consequences [...]
In my post “What if I became an emergency medicine doctor?,” Jonathan of My Money Blog said, “The main thing is that if you go into medicine for the money, you’ll be much less likely to succeed and the money won’t be worth it.” I fully agree with his comment and it reminds me [...]
