An open letter to incoming college freshmen
5/17/2013 7:44:23 AM
Congratulations, you made it through high school. You cleared the first great hurdle and are ready to experience the most freedom you’ve ever had in your life. All of your older family and friends are equal parts jealous, excited and anxious for what this freedom might draw out of you. It’s a beautiful thing, this [...]
Sometimes your spending changes, and you don’t even realize it
5/14/2013 7:30:30 AM
  This is Ted. He ruined our grocery budget. I was reviewing our family spending over the last couple of months, and I noticed that our grocery budget is significantly higher than it was this time last year. I racked my brain to see what had changed. Sure, we had a new child, Ted, but [...]
Why giving yourself an allowance when you are in debt is stupid

I attended Eagle Creek Elementary School. It was a lovely place. I have very fond memories of my time there, even when Jessica Mink accidentally spilled water on my Walter Payton poster project. The orange paper-stock couldn’t handle the moisture. The ink ran. I ugly-cried in front of my entire fourth grade class. I forgave [...]
How to have the perfect money conversation with your spouse
5/2/2013 6:45:23 AM
There’s one thing I hate talking to Mrs. Planner about: what happens to characters in a book or movie after the story ends. You see, she’s a literature teacher. She likes talking about the characters, what they’re thinking, and what they may hypothetically do next. I dislike that. It stresses me out. Why? Because the [...]
I need a vacation, can I take a break from making good financial decisions?
5/1/2013 8:00:38 AM
Got this great email the other day. It’s an excellent question. And by the way, I LOVE giving free advice. Pete, I’m sure you get tired of emails exactly like this one, asking for free advice – but I thought I give it a shot anyway.   I’ve been following your blog and twitter for [...]
When your actions don’t match your priorities, it’s time for a change
3/27/2013 9:12:34 AM
  In my weekly newspaper column for The Indianapolis Star, I tend to write about the behavior and decisions that affect our financial lives. This week I wrote about taking the time to measure your priorities against your actions. For many of us, our spoken priorities are simply lip service once we examine our actions. [...]

Pete the Planner's Holiday Savings League

https://www.formstack.com/forms/images/user/266026/image_PTPHolidaySavingsLeague.gifI have always loved the holiday season. But I REALLY started loving it when it didn’t result in me hating my financial life in January and February. If you are anything like me, then you have been a victim of your own love for your loved ones. In other words, you spent too much money on gifts, and then you had to scramble to pay for it in January and February.

In fact, I am so committed to your financial success and joy that I’m willing to reward you for doing the right thing. If you commit to following our Holidays Savings League program, then you will be eligible to win a new iPod, $50 gift cards, and any of our other prizes that all told add up to over $1000. However the best prize of all (for which you are all eligible) is that you won’t be paying for your 2011 holiday spending in 2012.

Sign up for the Holiday Savings League now
