A week off

So for a little vacation R&R down in the Dominican Republic and finishing up the old job before moving to the new one, we're taking a little break to get all other affairs in order. Here are a couple of posts I thought were interesting and feel free to go explore past posts if you missed any.

This is about 401k's. I've received a number of questions about 401k's and will expand upon this, but here is all the basics about the retirement savings plan in a good quick read for you to become more informed.

This is about refinancing mistakes. I'm a huge proponent to refinancing your house if you can find a big enough spread between your current rate and the quoted APR's and plan on staying long enough in your home to make it worthwhile. Rates are incredibly low but won't be here forever. But there are some pitfalls, so take a look. I will have a post on this next week with the loan amortization schedule I promised and talk about this more in depth.

Baby steps are the first steps. A little can go a long ways. Don't stop here but here is some encouragement to get started.

Have a great long weekend and wonderful 4th of July.
