Month End: March Snapshot
Communication is the most important key to a healthy relationship. As I’ve said it is just as important to communicate when it comes to finances and financial decisions as you do in every area of your relationship.

Month End: January Snapshot
The meme above represents my expectations for this year. LOL (laughing out loud). It is not that I don’t believe that something good can happen. I hope for the best and prepare for the worst. As this month ended, I was surprised to receive a bonus and a raise in my pay. In the previous […]

Month End: December Snapshot
As 2021 closes, I am amazed by the financial achievements we were able to accomplish this year despite the year being like another 2020.

My in-laws decided to sell their existing home and buy a new home and move into our subdivision. With the help of my nephew Jarvaris and Bob’s childhood friend Dennis we were able to move them into their new house. For me it feels like 2021 is a sequel to 2020 due to similar events […]

Month End: July Snapshot
I graduated Auburn University in 2002 with a degree in business administration. I did not even know what business administration was, and I would find out in my senior that it meant management. I had chosen this major to graduate within four years. My freshman year, I was attending Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia. I had […]

Month End: June Snapshot
The last beach trip Jill and I had was in 2019 related to her work. Even with the restrictions of COVID, I wanted to take her to the beach this year to celebrate when we first started dating in June of 2013. I remember prior to 2018 I really didn’t enjoy beach trips. This trip […]
