The older they get the less likely it is that something will really strike them and make them happy even for a few minutes, unless you can afford spending a fortune. Fathers are in a sense aged kids who have became difficult to get enthusiastic about new things as they have tried pretty much what they could afford.

So, here goes “Car Insurance: the Can’s and Cant’s the Do’s and Don’ts”
Today I got the chance to attend the coolest book club party ever, hosted by MediaBistro.com. This was my first MediaBistro event, and I am so glad I attended.

So here are a few simple steps you can take to set financial goals that you can actually implement and follow through on.
