Who is in charge of the purse strings?

A short and sweet link to an article written by the talented Jessica Hill on Women and Money. Us ladies often get the raw end of the deal with sterotypes such as us not being able to go shopping without getting a new pair of shoes, but Jess quashes these highlighting research that shows women are much more analytical around money than perceived.

Jess interviewed me for the article, so expect a few well chosen comments from me , along with top five tips for managing your money together.

So what’s really been happening? How to take the next bold step.

Shhhhh…..Quiet…….BOOM!

Ever felt like a Jack in the Box?
Squished and squashed not enough room for everything?

It’s not a good feeling, and sometimes you just have to make a bold step, so you can spring into what you really want to do.

And that’s me out of the box. I can proudly say I have sprung and now have two feet firmly in doing what I love.

BUT I know I have been quiet over the last month. Hope you haven’t missed me too much…

So let me tell you why.

It is so rare that we hear other peoples money stories, so once a month I like to share an inspiring money story written by the person themselves so you can get a real insight into their money mindset, their challenge and the successes they have made.

With Summer break nearly here and thoughts turning to University this is invaluable reading for would be students and anyone with kids. Read on to learn some more….

This months Money Story blog is from the amazing Todd Brison.

“Student debt is suffocating my country. What started off as a good idea to level the educational playing field has turned into a nightmare for the average American.

We’ve borrowed 1.2 trillion dollars for school as a nation.

My friends across the pond are struggling with the same issue. The majority of University students in England will be paying back loans in their 40s and 50.

This has to stop.

First off, let me clear all the “skeletons” out of my closet so you know my history: I am a white male who lives in America. That alone lands me in a pretty good position in the world. I’m not confused by the fact life has been easier for me than it is for some.

But it’s not like my parents passed down massive wealth. They were both teachers. Early in my high school career, my mom left the public school world to tutor privately. She made less, so we cut deeper.

On several occasions during this time, our family ate beanie weanies – a bowl full of beans and chopped hot dogs – for dinner. Not for a snack. That was it. That’s all we had. So that’s what we ate.

Inspiring Money Stories #1 – How to give it all up and live your dream

Ever dreamed of giving it all up and following your wanderlust?

Meet Chase & Mandy who have done just that with three boys in tow. Discover their adventure, how they deal with the unknowns and the money mindset shifts they have made to make their dream a living reality.

Living Nomad Style. Now that is a statement. It is one that describes our very way of life now. We are true modern day Nomads.

Before becoming Nomads, our family still moved frequently, with the exception of one longer stint in a single house in Missouri. But, before that home, we moved every year or two. And after that home, but before our Nomad conversion, we moved every year or two. So let’s just say that we were already accustomed to moving.

I am an entrepreneur, investor and businessman. I have founded, co-founded and been asked to join the teams of other companies. This kept me very busy with little excess time to spare. Before we went Nomad I had shifted all of my communications, documents and business workflows to be online so that I could more easily work from any one given point.

But, I was still working. All the time.

One day, Mandy and I sat down and tried to figure out how we could spend more time together and allow our sons to do more than read about the world. We wanted them to be able to actually experience it, to live it. Mandy came up with the idea of becoming Nomads.

And our plan…..
