About

60 Second Finance is food for financial thought. One of the truisms in my life has been that I only really understand something once I attempt to teach it to others. This is true in both my personal and professional life. In 2008 I began a TechMentor program at work to reinforce this in my professional life. 60 Second Finance is a parallel LifeMentor program to help solidify my personal financial life by trying to repackage and distill what I’ve learned (often the hard way) about financial matters.
