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.

The Flash - Movie Review

 Surprise Ticket I recently purchased The Doom That Came To Gotham and Justice League x RWBY animated movies that were on sale at Vudu this week.  I received a bonus of $8 off to go see The Flash movie from each movie.  So both my brother and I utilized the discounts for a rare trip to the movies.  Of the two animated movies I purchased, I highly recommend the Justice League x RWBY crossover movie even though it is Part 1 and Part 2 does not currently have a release date yet. Review While The Flash movie was decent, positive reviewers of the movie have obviously not seen The Flash TV series that just completed its run on The CW network.  The story in the movie and the special effects were much better in the TV series than in this movie.  Obviously, TV series has a longer time to tell a story.  Some of the movie’s special effects looked like they were from a couple of decades ago.  While this was only mildly distracting from the movie, it is defini...

Disney+ On Disc

  Change Is Coming Recently Disney+ has been cancelling content like the Willow series among other content on their service. This has given me pause as to what will happen to this content if you want to watch it. Series like the Mandalorian and the final season of Clone Wars were on available through the streaming service. The new idea that this content might eventually be removed from the service to never be seen again was a real possibility. Now we have some hope. I recently received an emailed from Marvel Entertainment. Generally, I would take a quick look and discard it but this one I had to look into more. The link pointed towards Best Buy or Walmart to preorder but I did find Loki Season 1 and WandaVision Season 1 available on Amazon. My hopes started to get raised. So with some quick searches, I did find in fact the Mandalorian Season 1 and 2 will be released on disc later this year. Here are the release dates per the email and what I found at the retailers. Loki - September...

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes - Movie Review

  New vs Old The original 1968 started a series of five movies the last being Battle for the Planet of the Apes . The current series started with the 2011 Rise of the Planet of the Apes  with Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes  the fourth in the series. While similar in concept, I do not anticipate Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes  to be the last in this new series. The original series focused on what I consider the human’s side of the story. The current series focuses on the ape’s side of the story. Based on the ending, I suspect there will be another movie to come. Review You care for the characters and the story moves at a good pace. You hardly notice it is nearly a 2.5 hour movie. You can watch the movie for simply the entertainment or you can find a message about coexisting. There are several surprises in the movie which is something I look forward to since I have seen way too many movies. I appreciate the cinematography in this film as way too many movies get t...
