I don’t know about you, I am happy to bid goodbye to 2024, and say hello to 2025.

Continue reading “Fitness Log #318”I read many blog posts each day. They mostly focus on personal finance, but also on minimalism and travel . Here are some of my favorites that I read in November.

Continue reading “Fitness Log #317, And Friday Fabulousness”This weekend I logged into my donor advised fund (DAF), to make a one-time donation in memory of a college friend’s wife. The process was quick and easy, no running around the house to find the check book, an envelope, a stamp. Click, click, click–all done.
