Welcome to SmartMoneyRecipes

Of all the places you could be on the web right now, we're glad that your here!  This is a place for sharing and learning about life in general, and that part of life that deals with finances.  This blog is an opportunity for me to share not only my experiences, but the experiences of literally thousands of people whom we have had the pleasure of knowing and working with.

With regards to our society, the greatest wealth is not Money, but Knowledge.  As I meet new people each week, they almost always want to tell me they know nothing about money.  Money is not complicated IF you give it a chance.  Don't start out as a failure in financial knowledge, start today by becoming a student, and learn that money is NOT complicated (although there are those who want it to be)!

In finance, as in life, one of the greatest compasses to guide you on your path is common sense.  Most poor decisions are a result of forgetting the basic truths in life.  Ignorance is not limited to the poor or the wealthy.  Knowledge, however, is equally boundless!

I love my work,and all of those whom I work with.  In today's world, that is becoming a rarity and I treat it as a true blessing.  One of my hobbies is cooking.  I enjoy the trial and error of creating new ideas for food.  A good recipe can be ruined with poor ingredients, and good ingredients can be wasted on a terrible recipe.  The third leg of a successful dish is cost.  Harmony comes together when the recipe is right, the ingredients are of the highest quality, and the cost of the dish is reasonable.

There are many parallels between cooking up a great dish, and cooking up a smart financial program.  From those ideals, SmartMoneyRecipes was born!  Welcome home to our little corner of cyberspace!
