Fresh look

November 21st, 2009

My writing has not been flowing as easily as I’d like it to of late. Partly that is because I’ve been wanting to move away from the stock Wordpress theme. Well, that’s fixed now. So what do you think of the new style? I’m excited because I feel that this is a great clean style that allows me to share even more with you. Notice the new sections in the sidebar?

‘Featured Video’ is there to highlight great videos from around the web. This first one is from UBank, who have a great series of short videos that explain and demystify financial markets. ‘Recommended Reading’ is there to point you in the direction of some great books for you and your kids to learn more and yes, there are the ‘Sponsored Links’ that will help me pay for running this site.

Onward and upward, as the saying goes!

Hello world!

The blog lives! The Golden Goose has been around for around a year as a twitter account. Before that the ancestor, if you will, was my Bank Accounts for Children site which itself grew from some frustrated posts on my blog.

This blog is a journey as I develop the ideas from my family’s experiences with bringing up children who are money savvy. While money was spoken of from time to time as I grew up, the nuts and bolts remained a mystery. In an effort to avoid a similar fate for my own kids, I’m searching for and trying out approaches to financial good sense that I hope will serve them (and my wife and myself!) well.
