In the Wake of Natural Disasters

New Year’s Resolutions

Taking stock at the end of the year and then deciding what you want to do differently in the coming year is necessary.  I had a friend tell me he bought a white board and turned a den in to his “war room” to chart out his 2013 financial goal.  Writing out your goal and [...]
