Happy holidays, friends!

I hope you have some fun festivities lined up! :) But before we get to all that, I’m on a mission to raise a little money for my cold and hungry homeless friends out there, while also trying at the same time to tackle one of the hardest areas known to entrepreneurs:

OUR HORDE OF DOMAIN NAMES! 😂

Which, of course, are all awesome and *worth millions* if we ever get them off the ground, but as author Derek Sivers is fond of saying – ideas are worth nothing unless executed. And, well, despite how much I’d love to execute on ALL of these one day, I’m pretty sure if I haven’t done it in the past 10 years I never will…

But maybe one of YOU could use these domains? Perhaps one of these is the missing puzzle to finally getting your own passion project off the ground?!

If so, I’d love to make a deal with you today :) If you donate some money to help replenish my Community Fund that goes 100% to my poor – yet positive! – friends living on the streets, I’ll give you one of these epic domain names in return.

What do you say?

Here are the domains up for the taking:

• PFBloggers.com – Great for anyone who wants to bring back a blogger directory to our space! (gone! Thanks Tom!!)
• PFChat.com – Great for anyone wants to bring back a lively *forum* to our space :)
• MoneyLatte.com – Great for telling everyone how much they can save on brewing coffee at home! Lololol… (gone! Thanks Jessica!!)
• DebtDrop.org – Great for anyone trying to help others tackle debt

DM me if you have any interest at all, or check out this recent blog post to learn more: Want Any of These Domain Names?

We’ve already raised $600 for the Fund so far (you can donate even if you don’t want a domain!) but would love more than anything to raise even more. It’s the worst season for our unhoused friends right now ‘cuz it’s so dang cold and nasty out!

In other not-nearly-as-important-news, I’ve been obsessed with coin boards lately :) Which you can probably still appreciate whether you’re into coins or not cuz it’s super nerdy!

• Check out the “normal” coin board here: Custom Coin Board (via my blog, CoinThrill.com)
• And then the supercharged one here: Custom Coin Board… Table! With Legs!

And then lastly, that very same Derek Sivers mentioned above came onto my blog last month to spit some financial truth… His equation says it all: Wealth = Have ÷ Want

I hope something here helps you in the future!! Thanks for reading all these years, and have a very merry blessed and happy holidays!!

Your FBFF (Financial Best Friend Forever),

You Only Have to Get Rich Once @ Young Money — “The only thing worse than not making life-changing money is losing the life-changing money that you just made.”

Why I Write A “Love Letter” Every Year @ The Retirement Manifesto — “None of us want to die. All of us will. In preparation for that inevitability, I write an annual “Love Letter” to my wife. In the event of my passing, my wife will know exactly what needs to be done.  I’ve never written in detail about my love letter on this blog. That ends today.”

How To Avoid Investment Fruit Loops @ A Teachable Moment — “Simple beats complex. Beware of excess ingredients in your food and investment portfolio.”

Advice For The Kids @ Humble Dollar – “Don’t read too much into texts and emails, especially those from colleagues. Most people aren’t artful in their use of language, so their intent may be muddied, and things will likely be even worse if you try to read between the lines. Instead, until people prove themselves untrustworthy, give them the benefit of the doubt. That attitude will make the world seem like a more pleasant place, and you’ll spend far less time fretting unnecessarily.”

Mary Buffett & The Difference Between Gifting Cash and Stocks @ My Money Blog — “In a recent Fortune article, Mary Buffett shared an anecdote about how her former father-in-law Warren Buffett changed the way he gifted his family $10,000 every year, from cash to shares of stock… Giving shares of stock instead of cash was a small nudge that made a difference.”
