The man, the myth, the legend. Bruce Lee has been an inspiration to millions of people including myself. When I first began training in martial arts, I started watching Bruce Lee movies and tried to copy his techniques as best I could. Learning from the movies helped me to add some moves to my arsenal and I was able [...]
Depending on how much you have, money can be a stressful or peaceful thing to think about. For most of America, it’s probably more on the stressful side of our brains. One thing we can do to alleviate some of the stress is to build an emergency fund. I believe everyone should have an emergency fund because life likes [...]
It’s officially June! Time to reflect on May and see how we did on increasing our net worth. The month was pretty low-key on expenses and I had a windfall with some items I sold on eBay so we were able to save a nice chunk of our somewhat small income. I’m going to do a more detailed look [...]

Time is a valuable thing. I’d say it’s more valuable than money because it’s more limited. As I sit here typing this post, minutes are [...]
