5 reasons to ditch your car in 2018 (Magnify Money). If you’re a two-car family and trying to save money or pay off debt, have you ever considered becoming a one-car family. I can be done!

Surrendering the golden fortress (Becoming Minimalist). Needs and wants. How easily we get them confused.

The money questions you should be asking your parents (Workable Wealth). Far better to open up these conversations while they’re still alive and healthy.
