So, I kind of just bought the house next door to me. We’ve already gotten straight into the renovations with a symbolic first step: a new front door. This is already somewhat amazing, for a small-town boy who refuses to even buy himself a new car. But even stranger are the details that surround this deal: I’m not moving into it. I don’t really need or want a second house.

There are about a million and one different angles to consider when talking about the big story in the stock market. The most important thing that's happening is the deterioration of faith that people have in financial institutions. Once trust is lost, it's almost impossible to gain it back. Memes aside, this is no laughing matter. A listener I'll call Jimmy asked us to comment on this: My wife recently came into a large sum of money about two weeks ago.

Change and control go hand in hand. Some changes fall easily into your scope of control, whereas others remain just outside it. You can’t control the weather no matter how much you wish that sunny January morning was actually sparkling snow. But there are other times when it doesn’t feel like you have control over a situation when you really do — and your personal financial health (and money mindset) is certainly one of them.

With the right approach, Facebook marketing can be incredibly effective for financial services businesses in particular. There are those out there who insist that the quality of the leads they’re generating from Facebook users aren’t exactly good, I’ve seen first-hand that they CAN be—it just requires a deeper understanding of what is really going on to get to that point.
