Thanks for sharing Charles. These are all very good ideas and great tools if implemented. I learned from Harv that it is best to have a financial team and to 'think long term' when it comes to planning (among other things). If you are looking for s…

Americans certainly do struggle with the Needs versus Wants issue. The problem is that, over the years, many Americans have been duped into thinking that certain Wants are actually Needs. Modern marketing tells us we are not cool unless we drive cer…

Mid-Life Crisis or "Second Act"?

When I was 40 I bought a Harley-Davidson…. while my wife was out of the country. I told everyone that that was my mid-life crisis. As a baby boomer I rationalized that this purchase was appropriate and better than some other mid-life decisions I have heard of other people making. I’m not sure my wife agreed completely. Eight years later I still have the motorcycle. And my wife.

I’ve only really had two jobs in my adult life. For the first 16 years I worked for the same Information Technology fi… Continue

Most Hoosiers have been affected by the downturn in the stock and bond markets and their 401(k)s or other retirement savings programs have been reduced – sometimes by 30%… Continue

None of us can deny that the troubles are real. So, what can you do today to make the best of a bad situation?

The specific list of actio… Continue

Help

A few things to consider before joining Smaller Indiana:
1. Please use your real name (first and last) when you sign up, or we cannot open your account

2. Please do not use logos or commercial images for your profile photo

3. Events should be posted in the events calendar

4. You can post pretty much anything you want on your own personal page (self promotion, etc), and you can change the style of your personal profile page to reflect your corporate identification if you so choose.

5. Please keep all comments civil and polite. It's OK to feel strongly about a subject, and it's OK to be critical of ideas, but please refrain from personal attacks of any kind.

If you witness or experience any issues, please contact admin@smallerindiana.com and we will look into the matter.

6. Smaller Indiana is supported by its members, and by corporate sponsors. If you're interested in learning more about sponsorship, please call Pat Coyle at 317 332 7878.
