Today’s guest post comes from a personal friend. Janell. Here’s a little blurb I asked her to write about herself… My name is Janell. I met Ninja through my husband, who is in the same line of work as him. I am a married, twenty-six year old mother of one. I work part time from [...]

Oh no you didn’t (Mom Ninja Post)
You all are in for a real treat. I will be out of town from August 6th through August 20th. As much as I would like to blog while I’m on my honeymoon, I imagine I’ll be having a lot more fun doing “other things”. I’ve got some awesome guest posts lined up for you [...]
Crappy Advice
Have you ever noticed the disclaimer I have in the left column (towards the bottom) of my blog? I put that disclaimer up for one reason….every other blog I read has one. Do I really need it though? If I didn’t have it, and someone followed my advice and wasn’t happy with the outcome, could [...]
The problem with personal finance
There is a fundamental problem with personal finance that will forever limit its potential to interest our culture. PF is dorky, or at least that’s how most see it. Try walking up to that girl you have a crush on and tell her she’s got nice assets and see what happens. My guess is things [...]
What was your epihpany?
I think it’s safe to assume all PDITF readers have two things in common… 1) At some point in your life, you decided to get your financial situation figured out 2) You’re all wearing leopard print underwear. (you followed my pictures instructions, right?) Seriously though, you probably had a financial epiphany at some point… right? [...]
Want results, take risks
Am I the only person that doesn’t understand why some people choose to live a life of fear? Few good things come without risk. I think the world would be a better place if anyone learned to step out of their comfort zone and take some risks every now and again. Here are a few [...]
Tis the season
Ho ho ho, ’tis the season. Tax season that is. I am far from a tax genius. In fact, I know almost nothing about the tax code. I don’t think anyone can call themselves a tax expert, considering the tax code itself is pretty darn convoluted. According to NPR, the US tax code is 67,204 [...]
Financial Puberty
It was 5th grade. I was a young ninja about to embark on an epic journey. A journey in to the unknown. A journey in to the land of cracking voices, armpit hair, and a world where girls towered over their male classmates. That’s right, it was a journey through puberty. I was 10 years [...]
Do me a favor, ignore the majority of my advice
So I was reading the other day (Yes I do actually know how to read) and came across something profound. I’d like to share it with you now… No one-size-fits-all recipe can guarantee a great relationship. Whether we’re talking about husband and wife, close friends, co-workers, or parent and child, every relationship is different. No [...]
Do the hustle…
Do the side-hustle that is. Who doesn’t like making a little extra “coin” each month? I’ve pretty much determined God created me to make money. I love being productive, but I love getting paid to be productive even more. There is something about “extra” income that allows me to spend a tad more care free [...]
