A quick step away from personal finance… I’m not sure whether I should be happy or disappointed that one of the most popular posts on this site has little to do with personal finances. The fact is that my post about my wife’s entrepreneurial spirit and how it has made living in our house a [...]
If you want your opinion to count in the media when it comes to investing, you have a chance to give your opinions to USA Today as part of their Money Panel. They are currently looking for investors: USA TODAY is looking for investors to join its Money Panel. The panel is composed of hundreds [...]
I wrote a little while ago about my desire to dig for diamonds and mentioned that I would also like to pan for gold. I convinced my dad to take me to the foothills in California and we decided to try our luck at panning for gold. I can tell you without reservation that this [...]
