It is time, yet again, for the monthly airing of my private financial laundry. My hope is that maintaining a journal of my savings will help provide additional motivation to save and allow me to spot trends. It will also serve as a record, so that I can look back an analyze trends. I also try to throw in some personal finance observations with each post. Continue reading “I’m Just Saving…June 2018”

I’m just saving…May 2018
It is time for the monthly airing of my private financial laundry. I hope maintaining a journal of my savings will help provide additional motivation and allow me to spot trends. The theory is that if my savings are not behaving as expected, I will drill down and figure out what happened. Continue reading “I’m just saving…May 2018”

Foreign Value Factor ETFs Update
Back on November 24, 2017, I published a post entitled Best Foreign Value Factor ETFs. In that post, I looked at several options and attempted to compare and contrast them on the road to picking one for purchase.

Bed, Bath & an Abomination?
Bed, Bath & Beyond (“BBBY”) reported earnings on Thursday this past week. While they “beat consensus estimates” the stock was down around 20% on the day.

Podcast of the Week
I listen to many investing and finance podcasts (I follow around 20). Even a finance nerd like me can become overwhelmed and buried in the abundance of beautiful pods. It can be a real drag on your time. So, I am going to start to “dive on the grenade” and provide you, dear reader (or future self), with one podcast per week that may be worth a listen.
