This is our Beltane(Spring) Update 2018.

I did my first PodCast interview with Jace and Clark over at MillionairesUnveiled. Go to Number #24.

I died a little bit on the inside over the proposed changes to the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program. After 10 long years, I decided to stop waiting and just pay off my loans. Nine months later, the law got fixed and I probably would have had my loans forgiven. Post here.

Another interview, this time with ESI in his section ‘Millionaire Interviews’.

Lastly, I committed to going to FinCon18 this year, tickets are bought. (flight for free!) I am looking forward to meeting some of you in person.

I will be the handsome, albeit bald, gent wearing a  fashionable T-shirt (as soon as I get it made)with this pic;

Beltane Festival

Beltane is the Celtic Spring festival held  halfway between the spring equinox and the summer solstice. It is a celebration of the rebirth of the land after the long winter and deals heavily with fertility. Hence all the bunnies and eggs.
