One Year Ago This Week (June 11th – June 17th)

Written by Nickel - Leave a Comment

Here’s a look at some of my favorite posts from a year ago this week:

â€¢ The Salary Theorem – A bit of funny math for the working the class.

â€¢ The Fine Art of Fixing a Leaky Toilet – Lamentations of a toilet-fixin’ do-it-yourselfer.

â€¢ More on (Moron?) Leaky Toilet Repair – Even more lamentations of a toilet-fixin’ do-it-yourselfer.

â€¢ Tips for Preparing Your Estate Plan – Twelve easy steps for preparing your estate plan. Number one is to prepare a will. Funny thing… Even though we needed a will last year, we never got around to it. Our most recent excuse was that we moved to a new state and didn’t want to get our will done only to have it re-done on the backside of the move.
