From day one at Wealth Pilgrim, I’ve been thinking about Thanksgiving and holiday stress. Since the word “Pilgrim” is so closely associated with it, I figured I’d own the holiday. I conjured up images of writing an amazing post to commemorate the day. The “mother of all posts,” if you will. It would be my own [...]
Have you ever considered the concept of “best mistakes”? This is the last of several posts I wrote on the plane while I was on my way to visit my daughter in Jerusalem. 13 hours is a long time to stare at the seat in front of you. I don’t know how I got on [...]
Personal update: I’m still visiting my daughter overseas and I made a commitment to unplug as much as possible while I’m here. The trip has been wonderful so far. I’ve had a ton of time with my daughter. One of the most wonderful gifts she’s given me is to see her grow up and become [...]

You may have come to this blog for concrete information about how to improve your financial life, get a good credit score [...]
Ever wonder why some people always seem to be so positive all the time? They intuitively know how to a positive attitude. My wife is a person like that. She always sees the best in people (otherwise…believe me…she never would have married me…). The great benefit of having a positive attitude, as I see it, is [...]
What would you do if your spouse refused to address a major financial concern you had and it was threatening your relationship? Would you scream out, “Save our marriage!” or “I want a divorce!”? Besides the fact that might love your spouse, if you consider the average cost of divorce, you’ll probably go the first [...]
You can actually learn a lot about fixing financial struggles by watching “Survivor.” Contestants on the TV show fight to stay on the island.
