One Year Ago This Week (August 27th – September 2nd)

Written by Nickel - Leave a Comment

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

â€¢ Shopping for Term Life Insurance – Background on how we went about shopping for term life insurance.

â€¢ Vanguard Changes Transaction Rules – Details on a transaction rule change at Vanguard that keeps you from flipping their funds.

â€¢ Poverty in the US: The Rich get Richer – I haven’t seen this year’s number, but last year was the fourth consecutive year in which the US poverty rate increased.

â€¢ Buying Term Life Insurance – The beginning of our term life insurance buying experience.
