Spring has a way of making you want to renovate everything. The sun comes out. You notice the fence looks tired. The front door feels dated. The garage is… a situation. But before you drop thousands on a renovation, here’s the good news: You don’t necessarily need a bigger budget.You need smarter upgrades. These spring […] The post 6 Spring House Projects That Make a Big Impact On A Budget first appeared on Whitney Hansen […]

Every year, it happens. That tax refund hits your bank account, and for a moment, it feels like relief. Like maybe—just maybe—you can finally catch your breath. And listen… I get it. I’ve been there. But there’s something I want you to think about before you spend a single dollar of it: Your tax refund isn’t “extra” money. It’s money you already lived without all year long. And if you were able to make it […]

You guys… I have a new favorite book. Whether you know her from her Invested Development course, her original Dumpster Dog Blog, the many times we’ve quoted her investing know-how here on Bitches Get Riches Dot Com, or her activism against the genocide in Gaza, our dear friend and Amanda Holden is a force to be reckoned with. Which is why when we heard she was publishing her very first book, I was all… How to Be a Rich Old Lady is Amanda Holden’s definitive guide to investing NOW so that some day you will be exactly what it says on the cover. It’s brilliant, insightful, funny, real… and I’m not just saying that because she references your humble Bitches in Chapter 38. While many of the fantastic books we’ve reviewed have been general personal finance overviews, How to Be a Rich Old Lady cuts right to the chase: defining the rules of investing, examining the systemic roadblocks you’ll encounter, giving you some quick and dirty tips for getting started, and showing you how to level up over time. So today I’m thrilled to share my interview with Amanda all about her new book, her activism and investment in community during these troubled times, and why it’s so important for us all to become rich old ladies. We talk abortion funds and reproductive rights, why billionaires are choosing to build apocalypse bunkers instead of fixing the problems they caused, and how she’s been arrested four times in the last two years! And if you’d rather see us all in person, we Bitches are joining Amanda on her Midwest Book Tour! Come see us (deep) dish at Roebling Books in Newport, Kentucky this Friday night at 7:00 p.m. Register here for the event (it’s free). I’ll leave you with these words of wisdom from our dear Dumpster Doggy: “Investing is this necessary skill if what you want is to at any point untether from labor… investing is the act of buying ourselves freedom.” -Amanda Holden On to the interview!

A conventional gilt is a reliable fellow. He is quite predictable right through to maturity, with yields drifting up or down broadly in line with his siblings. But his wayward cousin the linker has no intention of going quietly. With less than a year to live, index-linked gilts seem to throw off the shackles of convention and lose all inhibition. Yields surge and plunge quite alarmingly. What is the cause of such unseemly behaviour? And […]

Today Blogless Sandy and I parted company. She was keen to climb more steps on a hike near Taipei 101, the building we visited on the first day here. I wasn’t enthusiastic, but I was going to go with her until Mel said that she was going to get new glasses. We’d had the option […] The post Taiwan, Day 9: Sharp edges and clear sight. appeared first on Burning Desire For FIRE.

In the comments on my last post, several readers asked thoughtful questions about family trusts, second marriages, and protecting assets in the event of cognitive decline. A few readers even asked if I would write a post specifically about trusts and estate planning. So here it is. Over the years, I’ve heard various comments and questions come up, such as: “Is a trust really necessary?” “I have a durable power of attorney; isn’t that good […]

I love talking about net worth because it gives us a clear picture of progress. It is not about showing off. It is about understanding where we stand and where we are going. When I sat down with Anthony Rojas, what stood out to me right away was not just his $868,000 net worth at age 39, but the story behind it. Anthony did not grow up with financial stability. In fact, his journey started […]

There absolutely are passive income ideas and opportunities that work — if you do. And that’s the dirty little secret of passive income: most of it isn’t passive right off the bat. You have to do some work to get things started, and then you’ve got to do some more work now and then to maintain the source of income once you’ve gotten things off the ground. (If you’re looking for something completely passive, you’ll […]
