More than two years ago I posted Your Problem Isn’t Starbucks, emphasizing the importance of Saving Strategy # 5: Major on the major, minor on the minor. Working with Ode Magazine, I created a video further illustrating the importance of the strategy. I think you’ll find it simultaneously liberating and motivational. Am I right?

I’m quickly approaching the completion my second book: The Savings Solution. While the book is almost all new content, I am revising some of my favorite and relevant blog posts and including them as sidebars. One such sidebar follows.

Here’s my next video on debt management. I hope you enjoy it?
You: Is the volume going to be a problem again?
That depends.
You: On?
On whether you want to hear it.
You: Of course I want to hear it!
Good. Then just increase the volume. But keep in mind – in a work setting, far better for a video’s [...]
I’m a bit skeptical of the quality and impact comprehensive online-only financial planning can make, but the thought has enough merit to have garnered several million dollars in venture capital investment and prominent Wall Street Journal coverage.

A few weeks ago, I put a poll up on this site (you can still see it to the right) asking the question How do you feel about how much tax you pay?
While it’s admittedly a non-scientific poll, the same could be said about the voting for the final roster spot on Major League Baseball’s [...]
You: Why are you talking about IRA’s now?
What do you mean?
You: It’s the dog days of summer.
Huh?
You: April is over, Michael.
So it is.
You: Most people only concern themselves, or in your case write about, IRAs during April. Why is that, anyway?

When speaking on college campuses I often give student an opportunity to make some money.
You: Seems nice of you.
To get the cash, they must stay after my seminar for a market research study. Since I offer $25 for 30 minutes of their time, nearly the whole audience wants to participate.
You: What do you do then?
I [...]

If you wanted your child to learn how to play baseball, who would be the ideal teacher?
You: Dustin Pedroia.
Okay, I love how the guy plays the game, but let’s just say his current professional career makes him unavailable to teach your kid for the next 20 years.
You: Darn.
Realistically, who would you want to teach your [...]
