The Coronavirus And Your Money
5 minute read
Every day, something new comes out about COVID-19 and how it’s impacting our society. We’ve seen the financial markets experience a lot of volatility over the past couple of weeks (and it looks like there’s probably more to come), which can be scary and nerve-racking for a lot of people.

My response, “The hardest part is making your feet hit the floor.”

Where Should I Keep My Cash?
3 minute read
Something that I’ve been coming across lately is people who are keeping too much cash in a checking or savings account with a 0% interest rate. They want to keep the money in cash because they want to maintain an emergency fund or they have a short-term goal that they need to pay for, but they don’t know where else to keep it besides where it is.
