COR Blog
The Cents of Responsibility Blog. It's a spot for articles, reviews, answers, musings and more. But more than that, it's a gathering spot for so many of the ideas that come from the COR methodology to help parents raise their kids into money savvy, financially literate adults.
Have a topic you'd like to see here? Let us know! After all, this blog is merely an extension of the parent community we're working so hard to cultivate for you and your family.
Onward and upward,
-Julie & Alec
