Common Sense Finance

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CWYHTMSB

I started this blog back in January 2019 because of my love for movies and my desire to write. It didn't matter to me how many read it. What mattered was sharing information. Over the years, I got busy and wrote less often. One thing, that I started working in 2023, was my Common Sense Finance book that I finished and was able to get self-published in February 2024 on Amazon.com.

The book uses real examples of what you can do to get out of financial debt so you can live in financial freedom. My son was especially a strong motivator on writing this book as he saw where I was and where I got to with my finances in six years. My father was also a great influence on me writing this book. He had so many ideas and stories that he shared. He was busy supporting six kids that he never got a chance to write them down.  He passed at the end of 2021 thinking he would be forgotten. I promised him he would not and mention some of the wisdom he passed on to me in the book.

My goal with this book was to take all the lessons I had learned over the years and put it into an affordable book for those who needed and would use the information at an affordable price. While there are many finance books out there, they all see expensive and long reads. I wanted to keep the information more direct and keep the price less than going out to eat once. I was overjoyed to find out that the book could be made physical for less than $5. This allowed me to make the digital copy less than $4.

I worked on the book during my spare time in 2023. I am grateful of my two silent editors who helped me with the book checking spelling, grammar, and keeping the thoughts coherent. I have begun a second book that will make this first one part of a nonfiction series.  With both my children purchasing homes in 2023, I have been inspired to pass on my ideas about being home owners in this book.

I am happy to announce that my application was accepted and I will be attending the Findlay-Hancock County Public Library Author Fest this year. The event will be November 1, 2024 at the library from 5:30p-8:00p.  I hope to see my readers there.

Avengers: Endgame - Review

Movie Review - Spoiler Free I will try to keep this a spoiler free review. First, I would like to applaud Disney/Marvel for making a movie over the 2 hour limit that most movies have kept themselves to lately. The movie would have felt rushed if it was only 2 hours. The movie starts out appropriately timed to the events of Avengers: Infinity War. The movie kept you emotional invested throughout the entire movie. There was some predictability with the story but for the most part, I was able to enjoy the ride without knowing what would happen next. This to me made the movie extremely enjoyable. We get see how the characters deal with the aftermath of the Infinity War and what their options are moving forward. Each character was given their opportunity on screen during the movie. This is obviously easier to do since there are fewer characters after the events of Infinity War. I felt that many characters had an appropriate conclusion to their stories. The movie did leave me with a couple ...

Glass - Movie Review

History M. Night Shyamalan has made many movies that provide plot twists that are unusual. Unbreakable and Split are two such examples that surprisingly become part of the same universe. Unbreakable was released in 2000 by Walt Disney Studios. Split was released in 2017 by Universal Pictures. Glass is the third movie in the trilogy distributed jointly by Universal and Disney. M. Night Shyamalan’s movies were pretty reliable in the 1990s and early 2000s with movies like The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, Signs, and The Village. The Last Airbender in 2010 was horrible. With a rich story from the animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender, M. Night managed to destroy over 8 hours of great story telling by condensing it into a 103 minute movie. Not to mention how the characters names were mispronounce throughout the film. I could spend an entire post on how that movie destroyed a live action series. My children convinced me to purchase Split. I admit at the time of this post, I have yet to...

Protecting Your Online Collection

 Protecting Your Collection In this time of cyber crime, you want to protect your investment of digital movies. I will be focusing this page on the primary retailers that connect with Movies Anywhere. At the time of this post, I am only aware of Google and iTunes are the only two retailers that offer secondary authentication. Technically, Amazon offers a secondary authentication with the use of a pin for digital purchases. I highly recommend you use these security feature provided by Amazon, Google, and iTunes. This provides great protection for your collection and any saved credit card information that you have with the retailer. I would not advise keeping your credit card information with a online retailer but I understand it's convenience. With that said, I will point out that users have the ability to removed their credit card information from Amazon, FandangoNow, Google, iTunes (provided you are not using Family Sharing), and Microsoft. This is convenient when one of the retai...
