Matt's Monthly Money Must Do's | February 2019

Don’t get me started on the pronunciation of this month.  Feb-BRuary and Feb-Uary are two very different pronunciations.  One sounds like a frat-bro joke about a month-long binder, which is also the correct pronunciation, while the other sounds like gibberish.  Regardless of your particular persuasion, why is this the only month with multiple pronunciations?  No one skips the p in September.  Let’s discuss something productive about the month of February.

  • Finalize your taxes

  • Take a new worth snapshot

  • Buy items on deep discount

People don’t realize it, but the Latin root for January (Ianua) means door.  So, depending on your perspective you are either opening the door to the new year, or shutting the door on the prior year.  If you are like me, it is more of a slamming the door shut and creating shock waves in the space-time continuum.  Now onto the important things for the new year.

  • Find deep discounted items

  • Use a new finance app

  • Set a non-financial goal

Matt's Monthly Money Must Do's | November 2018

Matt's Monthly Money Must Do's | November 2018

November is popular for the Movember movement.  The whole month is dedicated to foolish men (myself included) growing facial hair for men’s health issues such as prostate/testicular cancer and suicide.  Wade Boggs, Borat, and our own Tom Ferkinhoff all immediately become my mustache idols for November.  Their mustaches could be described just like excellent Scotches are: full-bodied, dignified and balanced.  They are sooooo manly, they appear to have peat in them.  I look more like Larry Bird or Justin Bieber.

On to the Movember related must do’s…

Matt's Monthly Money Must Do's | July 2018

The 4th of July seems like such an odd thing to celebrate.   We are really celebrating the most famous divorce decree ever written.  Don’t get me wrong, I love the document, but it was just a bunch of bitter guys generating a divorce decree with barely any input from the counterpart. 

From now on, I believe we should turn Independence Day into Financial Independence Day.  Start celebrating those who have hit financial milestones.
