So here is what has worked for me in the past: Gifts Write a list of all the people you want to [...]
I read an interesting article the other day about money advice from women over 50 and one quote really struck a chord with me… “You have to intentionally manage your money like your time. If you don’t, it will manage you.” This is just so true and something that I have been advocating for years. I have seen many clients and friends reap the [...]

Fun money is an amount allocated every month to nothing - or anything - with no accounting for it. You can spend it on whatever your heart desires without guilt or explanation. You can save it for a few months and buy something ridiculously [...]
We all have routines, but sometimes they work for us and sometimes against us. I’ve got a couple that I love that really serve me well. The first is about managing my start and end of day at work.
