How a Legal Shield (Legal Services) Plan Can Save You Money
Fiscally Sound

6M ago
What Is a Legal Services Plan? I have had a legal services plan for nearly twenty years and it has been a godsend. If you aren’t familiar, essentially it is akin to what health insurance used to do for medical care. I say “used to” because the cost of health insurance is now out of control, but I digress. With a Legal Shield plan, members pay a low monthly fee to have access to a host of legal services, which includes unlimited legal consultations, among other benefits. You might think, “I don’t need a lawyer” but if you think about it, every agreement you sign was written by a lawyer that had ..read more

Review of The Small Business Bond by SMBX
Fiscally Sound

I was recently introduced to SMBX by a colleague and he asked me to take a look at the platform. SMBX is a crowdfunding platform that allows small businesses to raise money while also allowing everyday people to invest in local businesses for as little as $10. I have not been a big investor in the crowdfunding sector, so I had not heard of them, but it turns out they have been in business since 2016. I also think it was smart for them to trademark the name “The Small Business Bond.” Who is Behind SMBX? Whenever I look at an investment, I really like to see who is behind the company. The compa ..read more

Many people talk about “what they would do if they won the lottery”, yet so few are truly prepared for what that would look like.  The sad fact is that the majority of the people who play the lottery cannot afford to play and would be better off giving me that money as long as I agreed to give them back half. Playing the lottery often comes from a poverty mentality, which is why a lot of people you hear talking about winning the lottery will never win – they aren’t playing! Rule number one is that you have to actually play the lottery to win it.  Please do not hear me advocating tha ..read more

Live Like No One Else So You Can Live Like No One Else

A while back I was listening to Dave Ramsey on the radio. And while I disagree with some of Dave’s belief on life insurance and investments, he is the go-to guy when it comes to budgeting. He had a couple call in saying that they paid off about $150,000 in debts in 2 years including their house.  How did they do this? They both made a commitment to “live like no was else (will) so they can live like no one else (can.)” For you Dave Ramsey fans out there, this is his mantra – and it’s a good one.  Let’s look at what that looked like practically for this couple. When he asked how they ..read more

Did you know that it is possible to invest in domain names and earn huge returns? In this post, I will share tips investing in domain names as an alternative asset based on my 10+ years of experience in generating significant returns by profitably buying and selling domain names.

If you have ever tried to register a domain name, chances are you noticed tha ..read more

COVID-19 (a.k.a. coronavirus) has impacted all of us in some way, whether it’s through the loss of income, feeling the loss of our freedom as we are self quarantined in our homes, or worse – our health or the health of a loved one.
