I'm very happy to be podcasting to you today from the road! We have officially hit the road and are on our trip. The last two weeks have been a tiring blur. Our tow vehicle was stolen 5 days before we were scheduled to leave on our full-time RV trip! In today's show, I share a bit of the story with you as well as my own philosophy on how to negotiate the Good/Cheap/Fast triangle. Enjoy! Joshua

My life has been quite unique and frothy in the last week or so. Here are some tools I use to maintain financial peace in the midst of the turmoil. Joshua

I encourage you to carefully consider the ROI you're getting on the money and time you and your children are investing into their education. Is it paying off? Are you getting a good deal? Joshua p.s., I recorded this in April. It's an episode that I spiked and chose not to release (this isn't uncommon). But I changed my mind and decided to let you decide if you're interested or not. :)

You probably have an adventure goal locked up inside of you. Most people do. And you probably have put it off because you see no way to accomplish it.
