Please accept this digital substitute in the meantime. 🙂

Today was the first day in about three weeks where we actually had the opportunity to get out and do something fun. We decided to head up to Lockport to visit the Lockport Caves. I wasn’t really expecting much, but we were both pleasantly surprised. You get about an hour tour that gives you some…

Personal finance on the back of five business cards

ByDerek

It’s been quite awhile since I’ve done a personal finance post, but having sold a house and bought another this year, it’s certainly a topic that’s been at the top of my mind.
