I must admit that a lot of the articles posted on this site came from intentional trial and error. But sometimes, you get lucky. This was the case with my wife and I when she went on a trip after having a baby, and I was all alone with our new daughter. Sounds like a […]
One of the goals my parents had was to raise financially-literate kids. After all, as I highlighted in a previous article, money plays a big role in just about everything we do, so why wouldn’t you strive to set your baby up for financial success? And while money isn’t the end all be all, as adults
Men, let’s be honest here—you’re not going to have it as bad as your significant other during pregnancy. It’s going to be worse. Ok, I’m just kidding, but a father’s roles during pregnancy change frequently and often times, without much notice. In this article, I highlight how pregnancy was for me, a soon-to-be father, and

If used poorly, they’ll trap you into a cycle of high-interest debt.
As I went from my 20s to 30s, I started better appreciating convenience over wasting my time. That was on display one day when, as if it were a gift from God himself, Walmart+ was recommended to me by one of my brothers. I am such a big fan of it that I wanted to
I write this feeling like a veteran of war. No, I didn’t dodge bullets or explosions, nor did I do anything even remotely heroic like the brave men and women of the armed services do every day. I simply survived the first time our baby was sick. And I’m here to tell you all about
I started this blog about 10 months ago with the desire to gain a readership interested in topics about fathering and finances. I wrote (checks notes) 16 articles and then suddenly stopped in October of 2023. Why? Quite simply, I got caught up in the magic of SEO, otherwise known as ‘Search Engine Optimization’. It
