Creating a Better Life By Spending Less Not Earning More

Hello Financial Slacker readers. You may be wondering where I’ve been the last few weeks. I’m still here. I’ve just been busy creating a better life for myself.

Learn To Profit By Taking Risk

I was clicking through YouTube looking for a video to post this morning and I came across this TED Talk from Tom Sosnoff discussing the value of learning how to take risk. I don’t know anything about Tom but I found his short talk entertaining, interesting, and thought-provoking. I’m not sure I agree with him […]

Fun Friday: Repost of What Do You Do For a Living

Today, I am reposting an article published on this site last year. Here’s a link to the original article, What Do You Do For a Living? with the text reposted below:   For over twenty years, the question, “What do you do for a living?” was pretty easy for me to answer. I work in healthcare, […]
