Here’s the truth most parents avoid until it’s way too late: College is insanely expensive. And not “wow, textbooks are pricey” expensive. I’m talking: Now multiply that by two or three kids. Yikes. The problem is most parents don’t start thinking seriously about college until high school… when the financial runway is already dangerously short. But here’s the good news: You do not need to be rich to prepare well. You just need to start […]

The values may fluctuate as with all their payout rates, but currently I am seeing the following: $250 cash back on the BofA Travel Rewards credit card. $150 cash back on the BofA Customized Card Rewards credit card.

A few months ago I was in Northern California, visiting a company we’ve known for years. They make one product. They’ve made it the same way for decades. Their customers are borderline religious about it. The business is profitable, growing steadily, and has been for a long time.
