I am a lifelong New York Jets fan, and in the markets we’re told that past performance is not indicative of future results. However, when it comes to the Jets you can pretty much bank on what has happened in the past will happen again in the future. Let’s refocus back to the great financial articles from this morning!
Here’s what I’ve been reading this morning:
‘The Never-Ending Then’ – Nick Maggiulli – Of Dollars and Data
- In Nick’s latest post, he writes about something almost everybody falls victim to. He talks about constantly wanting MORE and worrying about “then” instead of living in the moment.
- Instead of making social plans, this article discusses the importance of making financial plans as a couple. Having those important discussions about money can be crucial for every couple.
‘Use an “Opportunity Fund” to Save For Goals That Will Make You Happy’ – Lorie Konish – CNBC
- When saving money, it’s easy to consider physical things that we need to buy in our everyday lives. However, it’s easy to forget to prioritize experiences as well. This article talks about the importance of saving for opportunities and experiences.
‘The Problem With Being House Rich’ – Ben Carlson – A Wealth of Common Sense
- Houses have appreciated in price quite a bit over the last handful of years. If you’ve owned your house for a while, you probably have some nice gains. However, to realize those gains you’d need to sell your house. Ben explains the problem with being “house rich” in this post.
ENJOY!
