Finance · Budgeting
The one-page money plan: everything you need, nothing you don't
Forget the forty-tab spreadsheet. A plan that fits on one page is a plan you will actually look at.
Finance · Saving
Why your emergency fund comes before your first investment
It feels boring next to the stock market. That's exactly why it works.
Finance · Debt
Avalanche or snowball? Two ways to pay off debt, and how to choose
One saves the most money. The other keeps you motivated. The best one is the one you'll stick with.
Finance · Retirement
How much do you really need to retire?
Forget the one magic number. Your answer depends on the life you want, and you can estimate it in an afternoon.
Finance · Taxes
Tax-sheltered accounts, explained in plain words
The account you save in can matter almost as much as what you invest in.
