Book Review: "Good debt, bad debt"
by Scott Bilker
Good debt, bad debt. Or, as I prefer to call them, good spending decisions and bad spending decisions.

Money books for kids
by Scott Bilker
Educating your children about money is one of the smartest, and most rewarding, financial moves for any family. It is in our childhood that we are conditioned to have emotions related to money. Many of these emotions, like fear of not having enough money, or having too much money, are not based in reality. These feelings can hold you back later in life so it's important to have an understanding about money from as early an age as possible.
