At the ripe ole’ age of 10, I was given the task of having to invest $50,000 into stocks I thought would be winners.

The Department of Motor Vehicles. There are few places in this world that are more dreaded. Last Thursday, I had an expired out of state registration that needed updating and I was forced to make a visit.

Certificates of Deposit used to be talked about much more than they are today. I can remember listening to my father drone on and one about how our local bank was offering over an 8% return on a five-year CD; and how disappointed he was that the percentage was so low! Of course, [...]

Update – This offer is now EXPIRED With more than a full year of owning a business credit card under my belt, I can tell you from first hand experience how valuable the asset of a business credit card can be.

(Update: This promotion is now expired) For a limited time only, the Citi ThankYou Preferred Card is offering new cardholders a 40,000 ThankYou point bonus.

I’m not entirely sure why, but I’ve always enjoyed work. Whether it was a fruit stand at five years old, or selling golf balls at the golf course at 8 years old, I had a blast making money, and still do. But it wasn’t until I turned 13 that I started my “career” and what [...]
