The Kinetic Man: Christ-Centered | Veteran-Focused | Investor-Minded

If you went to a financial advisor and they told you to spend up to your means, essentially leaving yourself no financial margin, would you take their advice? We’re guessing your answer is no.

This may come in the form of giving, or going on an epic trip, or having a fun family experience, or just spending more time with family. S...
