On my list of favorite things to do, going to the dentist for a check up oddly doesn’t make an appearance. If it ranks on yours, I’d recommend taking a pen and stabbing it into your hand to ensure you’re not actually a cyborg. If you’re a cyborg, power down and…
In case you missed it on our Facebook page last week, there was a nice little write up on our clan, NYC budgeting ways, and OFB on Forbes.com. If you’re interested in checking it out, click your mouse right here. After reading the article, we realized there’s a lot of nuance…
Over the last two and a half years (!) of putting fingers to keyboard on this here blog, we’ve shared a steady supply of our successes and failures. And over time, we’ve noticed recurring themes and fundamental beliefs that continue to pop up and appear to drive to the core…
