4 things retailers don’t want you to know about black Friday (MarketWatch). Some important reminders that may make you think twice about fighting the crowds.

How to protect your retirement account from a hack (Wise Bread). The protections for investment accounts are different than those for savings accounts.

Making financial goals inevitable (The Simple Dollar). How to make big goals less overwhelming, and more achievable.

The constant reminder (Of Dollars and Data). The impact of the decisions you make today—financially and otherwise—will multiply exponentially over time.

The costs and benefits of caring for family members (MarketWatch). This one hit home as we may have my mother-in-law living with us soon, following a stroke. If you’ve cared for an ailing loved one in your home, any words of advice?

Five decisions to true financial freedom: The calling decision (Ron Blue Institute). Third in a great series of messages from one of my favorite biblical money management teachers.
