Getting Started Early… Way Early
TweetWhat if you opened a Roth IRA for your kids at say, age 5? I know, you can’t open an IRA at that age because you can only contribute earned income into an IRA and 5 year olds don’t have earned income. So what if you opened one in your name and put $1,000 into it [...]

Co-working
TweetThe other day Jeffrey at Money Spruce talked about co-working spaces. I’ve heard about them before but at that time they wouldn’t work for me since I had kids at home. I couldn’t very well take my kids to “the office” could I? So I had put them out of mind. But Jeffrey’s post made [...]
Grandparent Scam Strikes Again
TweetPut yourself in the shoes of a caring Grandmother. Let’s say one day you receive a call from your grandson telling you they’ve been in an accident and are being held in jail in the Dominican Republic. They want you to keep their little debacle a secret but they need you to wire money to [...]
