Is the Lottery Calling Your Name?
Wednesday Oct 24, 2018
Wednesday Oct 24, 2018
You have a better chance of getting struck by lightning; dying in a car accident; becoming a victim of identity theft by the age of 40; being bitten by a dog while jogging or or even hitting a hole-in-one on your birthday than winning the lottery. Yet the average American buys $200 of lottery tickets per year.
It’s interesting to note that lotteries are exempt from truth in advertising laws. What may sound like such a good deal is really a bunch of lies.
Read the Compass Catholic blog for more on why the lottery isn’t the answer to your financial problems.

Cheap vs Frugal—Is There a Difference?
Wednesday Oct 17, 2018
Wednesday Oct 17, 2018
A cheap person will invest a lot of time and energy in order to save a dollar or two, but the time and effort they spend may not be worth the money they saved.
A frugal person saves money in a balanced way by thinking about how saving money impacts other areas of their life. Saving money is good, as long as it is done in a balanced way so you can enjoy life and recognize the tradeoffs you are making.
This week’s podcast and the Compass Catholic blog point out the differences between cheap and frugal.

Social security is only supposed to supplement your retirement income. It is not designed to provide your entire retirement income, so you need to save for retirement in a big way.
It’s up to each one of us to stop relying on the government to take care of us in retirement.
Join us for a discussion about Social Security and read the Compass Catholic blog for more about how secure Social Security really is.
