You’ve Been Lied To! The TRUTH about credit cards
Recently I read an article in BE magazine, “5 situations when it’s OK to close a credit card.” On first glance, it seems this article will give enlightenment on the folly of credit/debt- but alas it doesn’t and gives me a perfect entry into this pressing subject. The title alone set me on edge, “when…
But Brad & Bonita , How do I get my (______) on board?

What nearly running out of gas taught me about finances
I will admit that I’m not a car guy. I take care of minor maintenance; gas, washer fluid, bulbs, etc. I rarely wash my car and take it to get oil changes and tune-ups a little too infrequently to be honest. So fast forward to earlier this week, the car had been running rough for…
Stop Dreaming, Start Planning!
Father’s Day weekend I presented to young men ages 8-18 about financial fitness at the B.O.L.D. (Believe Obey Lead Disciple) conference in Irving, TX. They were broken into three groups based on age and I was given the task of teaching them about money; how to better handle it, how it impacts their future, why…
