AAYB in 2018
It is said you are more likely stick with an intention to do something if you write it down or share with someone else. Instead of settling for just one form of reinforcement, I’m going with both–I’m writing these resolutions down and sharing them with you. The new year has brought a renewed focus for All About Your Benjamins and…
Continuing The Momentum…
It is well-documented compound interest is one of the strongest forces known to man, and not too far behind compound interest is momentum. I think one of the factors that keep momentum from receiving more praise is momentum can fade and it requires work to keep it going.

Don’t Let Their Conviction Fool You
I have to confess something…I don’t follow my own advice when it comes to CNBC. I tell clients all of the time to tune out the noise and not to even turn the station on. Yet, it’s streaming all day in my office; granted all but an hour of the day the sound is turned down so I can listen…
The Ripple Effect Of Cryptocurrency
Crypto education continues…just paid 38% in fees to test out owning Ripple…tuition paid. What a process! — Justin Castelli (@jus10castelli) December 18, 2017 Worried my professional identity was beginning to blur the line between a financial advisor and a crypto-crazy, I had planned to take a break from the world of cryptocurrency and Blockchain after cashing in my initial investment and…
