If you want to work together we could chat about that - so far I think I have enough info to cover life insurance and refinancing - are these the kinds of things you were looking at?

I love money talk :) We actually are budgeters and cash handlers Dave Ramsey style ... but I love to hear what other people are doing/figuring out. I think something fun to cover would be the myth but also the lure of the rewards programs out there. The sky miles and cash back ... at what point do you stop using those cards or programs "just for the perks" and when to know how to get out. We have friends who do this all the time and are always pitching great ideas about the money their saving by being a part of a rewards program from a credit card or vendor and sure it sounds nice to begin with - but they have to keep track of so much to make it worth it. Maybe I'm just not detailed. Ok I'm not, but still. Fun topic. this is exciting!
