Your professional life has everything to do with your financial life. Imagine my shock when I recently overheard someone mention that they don’t see the correlation between their professional and their personal lives. It seems so simple to me; your professional life has everything to do with your job, and your job has everything to […] More

Growing up we are always asked what we want to be when we grow up. I remember being asked this question as long as I can remember, and I always said the same thing, “President.” I assumed that meant of the USA, but it seems that job is thankless and I’d likely end up becoming […] More

Mimosas, a pool boy and endless hours of fun in the sun and freedom making working from home so worth it to me. Wait, no; that’s not right. I can’t do any of those things if I don’t actually get my work done. Oh, and those big checks I get seem super amazing, but they […] More

It’s no big secret that benefits packages are few and far between these days.
