Sense2Dollars is your online resource for all things money-management.

Back story: A couple of technically-minded, intelligent individuals spent their days working like most others, and were hoping they could "hit it big" by playing the Powerball lottery.  One day, the concept of taking the same amount of money being invested in the lottery - $2.00 per play (Powerball ticket with Power Play), 2 plays per week = $208.00 per year - came up as a joke.  It was, in all honesty, an attempt to "tempt fate" by saying that, logically, m onies invested in any traditional investment (i.e. stock market) should far out-perform monies invested in non-traditionals (i.e. lotteries) and in turn hoping that, just to prove common sense wrong, the lotto would strike big instead of the seemingly obvious, the market.

Originally created as a way to document an admittedly silly idea, the ideas generated from discussions about how to gain financial security, and general wealth management, have become the cornerstone of the Sense2Dollars project.

We practice what we preach and, better than that, we show you the actual results!
