Financial and lifestyle resources to help you live life on your terms.
I have a special treat today. Meghan Chomut, CFP asked me to have a chat Live on Facebook and it was a hoot!
We talked Financial Independent, lifestyle, career, debt, saving, spending and, of course, BOOKS!
Read MoreIt was a regular Thursday morning. I got in my car to start heading to my local Toastmasters Club meeting. I closed the door and could still hear the outside world as opposed to the usual quiet nothing that results. How weird, I thought.

It feels like a long time since I've put virtual pen to paper on Free to Pursue. And it has been.
My last post was May 31st and it was a book review. My last personal musings were on May 23 (and they were a precursor to this very blog post). In short, it's been a two-month absence and it feels like a substantial amount of time.
Read MoreThis book is a biographical work about, as the subtitle indicates, “Thomas Young, The Anonymous Polymath Who Proved Newton Wrong, Explained How We See, Cured the Sick, AND Deciphered the Rosetta Stone, among other Feats of Genius.”
Read MoreThe more I read about who is successful in this life, the more I realize just how important it is to understand the word “enough.” I’ve written a lot about this on this blog, but I think it’s essential to keep hammering the point...if not for you, at least for me.
It has never been easier in this world to go narrow and deep. The resources to delve deeper and deeper in a subject are nearly infinite. In order to run out of material you practically have to specialize within a specialty!

Do I think we need to meet new people? Of course! But...
Read MoreAs I hinted at in late 2017, I’m venturing into uncharted territory. What territory? Video.
As of this writing, I’ve filmed five videos for another one of the channels I’m setting up* and I’m learning to edit to, hopefully, put out a finished product that’s not too painful or amateurish to watch.
