What Did You Call My Daughter?
If you have friends who don’t value you or who drain you emotionally, or maybe your coworkers are toxic, that keeps you from being your best. It keeps you from coming up with ideas to better your life.
I have been a certified financial planner since 2008, and have been practicing financial planning since 2004. I graduated from Tulane University with a degree in finance and but before I could utilize my knowledge, my commitment to the U.S. Navy had me attending nuclear power & supply corp. school. Then deploying for 8 months on the Nimitz.

Top 5
Top 5 – Prioritizing Your Life and Money – What are your top five when it comes to your priorities in life? Have you ever asked yourself that question? I’m talking about seriously contemplating what’s important.
Since we all know that we will transition from this Earth, we have to decide what beat we are going to rock out to.
I’m kidding, but at the same time, I’m serious. I remember when I first got my driver’s license. I had the song picked out for weeks. I was not moving my car until I got it to that track, and I played that song over and over again.
Achieving Your Greatness
Money and greatness go hand in hand, but the most important thing to remember is that greatness has to be measured by your standards. The feeling of being great is a drug that can lift you up and take you where you want to go. The accolades can be enticing.
Hiding Behind the Wealth
Since I was a kid, my father taught me not to hide behind wealth. He refused to buy me anything to impress friends. Not that he was making a righteous stand; he was cheap and didn’t care to impress folks. I’m proud to say, I inherited that cheap gene.
I Don’t Need Life Insurance
I Don’t Need Life Insurance. How being invincible secures your family’s future. I don’t know if you know this, but I don’t need life insurance. I know you might think this is insane because I am a father of three whose wife hasn’t left him—yet. There is a straightforward reason for this, and it is perfectly sane.
Mamba Mentality
What Any Father Can Learn from Kobe Bryant Legacy. Ever since I can remember, I have been a Laker. I remember pacing in my living room nervous as all hell because the Lakers were down against Boston. One minute I’m worried, and next thing I know, Magic caught the ball and did the baby hook at the free-throw line to win the game. We had finally beat the Celtics, and I jumped and screamed hysterically in celebration.

You want to have a good time in Vegas? Do you want to have a blast? Hang out with your disabled friend! I don’t mean to make light of the situation; it’s quite depressing what happened to him.

Handling a Budget While Self-Employed
Handling a Budget While Self-Employed – How to handle your money, your marriage, and your family. So, you’ve decided that you want to be self-employed. You want all the glory of being your own boss.

Defining the Word “Dad”
Fabulous Husband with Flaws. My wife is excellent at ensuring that we go on date nights as often as possible. Most of the time, the activities we do are a blast for me. Our relationship works like this, she is the fun planner, and I show up to the events. I get to be my charismatic self and have a blast—maybe even stir up some stuff. Needless to say, most of the activities are things that we both want to do. I never really know what we are going to do, though because I have become so dependent on her that I literally wake up every morning not knowing what I am doing for the day. I have no idea who we are hanging out with and I usually don’t even get to pick.
