Many people aren't comfortable talking about money. It's not usually a conversational dinner-time topic, and its principles are rarely taught in schools. My goal is to have a "conversation" about it here, on this blog. If you read something you find intriguing, please comment or ask your questions!

If you'd like to find out more about my investing philosophy, read my "Nine Laws to Financial Freedom."
