I got this book during the holiday season as one of my “start the year right” books. This was my chosen start the year right book for finance. I’ve always been a fan of David Bach. I even have a signed copy of “The Automatic Millionaire” in my bookshelf from when he did a book signing in the Wall St….
I’ve been back from an amazing vacation. I’ve been wanting to post about the vacation but kept getting stuck with a blank page. Anyway, my passion for helping others stay healthy is still very much on! I’ve been blessed to be surrounded by amazing Beachbody coaches that help me get closer to a healthier lifestyle. The past few months as…
On my continuing search for personal development, I came across this book in my wish list. This book came recommended by some personal development folks, so when I got some Audible credits, I went ahead and got the audio book. I’m not sure exactly what happened, but I believe it’s mostly due to the narration. The book was quite bland…
Yesterday was an amazing day for me. No, it wasn’t like my wedding, the birth of my kids or even graduation, but it certainly was a stepping stone to something possibly great. On 11/19/2010, I went to my alma mater (New Jersey Institute of Technology, or NJIT) to guest lecture for a masters level management (MIS) class. I just have…
I just have to say…. WOW!!!! This book is just ground-breaking for me. This book lays out how I want to live my life eventually. I want to someday (soon) get into a business that allows me to manage by absence, a business where I have others working for me instead of me working for others, even to a point…
Wow, this is an extremely loaded article. The funny thing is, as a Beachbody coach, I was brought in by the reference to the “Crossfit gym” (which was of course, a highlighted link). No offense to Crossfit (which I respect because I read / hear great success stories with it), but I love and stand by the Beachbody products. I’m…
The article is here, with a very interesting diagram. Some of my observances: Discussions on household finances lead to arguments – my wife and I are (for the most part) on the same page now, which is a great relief. We seem to know that others’ answer before asking the financial question Average threshold price at which couples need to…
I came across this interesting article from Mint about setting up a family bank for your children. As a parent, one who actually set up a Financial Peace Jr. kid for our older child, I was immediately drawn to this article. It brings up a great idea to help children understand more about finances. If you’re a parent and want…
I’ve been meaning to look into this software package for quite a while now. With 2 members in my family to manage budgets for (myself and my wife), I’ve been looking for a way to comfortably allow my wife and myself to seamlessly synchronize our expense tracking. There’s an iPhone app companion for this, which makes a case for getting…
After some long self-debate, I decided to merge the financiallyweird.com content to my personal blog in gatchie.com. This is because my focus has expanded to much more than just financial initiatives (i.e. fitness, tech, etc.). As I spread myself more to fitness, technology and other initiatives, this personal blog provides a better medium for me to discuss and share them…
