The Money Mic®
Welcome to my blog called The Money Mic where I will discuss all kinds of things to help guide you on our way to a blissful retirement. There will be some ancient wisdom, some academic focused science, some worldly observations, and some everyday tips to live by. I see interesting, funny, tragic and exciting things all around me and in my travels.
I want to share what I see in the world and how it affects real people, families, business owners and each other. So I hope you enjoy my musings and antics along the way.
