I remember my first time taking an Uber. Cool car. Smelled nice. I knew what the price would be the second I booked it and way cheaper than a taxi. Hooked.   Rented an million-dollar mansion on Airbnb in Breckenridge to ski. 3 stories. Hot tubs. Close to the slopes. Split it cheap with some friends.    MoviePass! $10 a month to see all the movies you want! I mean, c’mon. We all knew deep down that...

Question: Why do people wait for things to get so bad before they change?   This is one of the most interesting financial statistics of the pandemic. Credit card debt has gone down despite people being out of work for weeks and months at a time.   As of March 2021, consumers had paid down a record $83 Billion in credit card debt in 2020! According to Wallethub, that is a record.    It is only the...

So what is happening? Well since the pandemic began, the number of people looking to sell their home has gone down and the number of people looking to buy has gone up dramatically.

Is money that big of a deal in a relationship as everyone makes it out to be? Yes, 1000%. I’d venture a guess that at the core of 99% of marriages ending, money was the key factor. And when it comes to dating, a lot of people would have saved themselves time and heartbreak if they handled money differently in the relationship. People don’t ask difficult questions about money. Usually, we go about...

In martial arts, they t...
