Summer is in full swing at the McRae household! Summer camps. Pool parties. T-ball games. The works. With all the memories being made during summer, however, it’s important to keep the kids’ brains engaged too. The summer slide is real – especially as …
One hundred and fifty thousand dollars. It’s not an insignificant sum of money. It can pay off a home – cover the purchase of a new car (and years’ worth of gas) – pay for college – deliver financial security. Now, imagine losing it. This spring, my team …
