🦃 Happy almost Thanksgiving!

Published 3 days ago • 1 min read

Good morning Reader,

To those who observe Thanksgiving, Happy almost-Turkey Day! It's one of my favorite holidays not because of the food but because it's a reminder of how good we have it.

It doesn't matter if the year has been good or bad, the fact that we can spend it with family and friends makes it better. I hope you are able to spend it with the ones you care about.

And, can I ask a small favor? Would you be able to add Wallet Hacks to your list of Preferred Sources in Google?

Go to this link and select the box next to Wallet Hacks, it'll help our blog posts appear more prominently on Google's Top Stories section and helps us out a lot. It won't affect your Google search, news, or other services.

Thank you!

🎃 Why rituals are so important

As we glide into the Thanksgiving weekend in the U.S., I want to share a post I wrote a short time ago about the importance of rituals.

It may not be immediately obvious, and sometimes may even feel silly, but rituals enhance the enjoyment of everything.

🫠 Money Tools with Black Friday Sales

If you've been waiting to get a particular personal finance tool, now might be a good time as many are offering sales. Here's a small sampling:

This isn't a money tool per se but still a good deal, you can now get Disney+ & Hulu as a bundle for $4.99 a month for a full year.

🏠 Beware Merchant Return Policies

When you go shopping this holiday season, double check each merchants' return policies.

There are some that will now charge a fee (usually to cover shipping). And even more if it's a particularly large item.

Our aim is to help make it easier to understand so that regular folks can use what we teach to take control of their money and build wealth.

Good morning Reader, The final penny rolled off the Mint a week ago and now the U.S. Mint is auctioning off 24K gold three-coin sets. You can tell they're part of the final run because, well, they're made of gold but also because they have a special Omega (Ω) privy mark. I get that the Mint sells coins for a profit... ... but this one feels a little weird. What do you think?

Good morning Reader, At last check, the government looks to be on the verge of reopening after eight Democrats agreed to the resolution in return for a promise of a vote on Affordable Care Act subsidies. Despite what you may think about the politics of the matter, we can all agree it's crazy our country punishes itself like this every few months. Oh, and in the meantime, we haven't gotten any government reports but Goldman Sachs thinks we lost 50,000 jobs in October. That's not good. (View...
