It’s been a while since I set foot in a dojo proper; Covid has made sure of that. But I had been diligently practicing my karate katas in my home’s basement each week… until recently. I’ve started running more, and with the nice weather, my katas began to fall by the wayside. It wasn’t until I did them again for the first time in a month that I realized how important they are to me.

Have you ever noticed how toilet paper comes in about 10,000 different shapes and sizes of packaging? How about power tools? Ever tried to buy a Dewalt drill?

As someone who’s passionate about personal finance, I’ve been asked a few times by friends if I’d be willing to give a bit of a 101 session to help them take control of their money a bit more. We host these sessions on Friday nights, and call them “Financial Fridays.” Turns out we’re not the only ones who do this – not even by a longshot.

Training martial arts feel great. So does belonging to a dojo or gym, and having friends and students to train with. But have you ever felt like things were going a little too far? If your gut tells you something is off, it just might be the case.
