Ask Dr. Per Cap

Ask Dr. Per Cap

Ask Dr. Per Cap is a financial advice column to help you travel the winding road toward financial independence.

The column was originally designed for tribal citizens who receive per capita payments. About 20 percent of the Native American population in the United States receives these payments, primarily from gaming revenues and dividends from natural resources leases.

Dr. Per Cap draws upon his experiences – some good, some bad – to help you learn skills, tricks and strategies to take control of your financial future.
