Government Concerns over Bitcoins and other Digital Currencies

What is a Bitcoin Cryptocurrency

Bitcoins have been talked about a lot in the news and online. Some people are scared about it and some people are excited about it. One of my friends called it in nice terms a very risky investment.

Fix or Sell your Car

Recently we took our car in for an Oil Change and the Store Manager came out to the sitting area and gave me a long list of repairs the car needs. It was over $3,600.

When I got home and started looking up Used Cars that had less miles than my car did it looked like I would need to spend over $15,000 easy to get the same model car but maybe 8 years newer and maybe 80,000 l...

Stocks - Should We Hold or Should We Sell

There are a lot of different philosophies on the subject of if you should stay in the market through the up and down times or not. Some of my friends say they get out when it is high and then buy when it is low. They swear they make a ton of money doing it that way. Yet, I don’t have a crystal ball on when the Stock Market is at around the top and not going any higher.
