Concept: When looking at ways to save gas, this is one of the more interesting ones I’ve come across. Tires inflated with nitrogen have been used for years on racing cars and with gas prices rising, the concept is starting to migrate over to normal cars and trucks. The concept is that nitrogen has larger [...]
When it comes to debt and debt reduction, we almost always talk about it in regard to the individual. If you are debt free, you might feel that a co-worker being in debt has little to do with you, but in reality it probably has a lot more to do with you than you ever [...]
One of the things that bothers me the most about traveling is Internet access charges. Part of the problem is consistency. I never know where or how much I’ll have to pay to access the Internet. When I arrived at the San Jose airport, I would have had to pay in order to get Internet [...]
I’ve written before about how I am amazed at the ingenuity of people to earn extra money. I was not disappointed in Las Vegas. The best one I saw was the “bankroll me” woman. This attractive woman sat at a popular casino with a top that said “bankroll me” on it waiting for men to [...]
It’s late here (approaching 1:00 AM) and I’ve just arrive back from Vegas about an hour ago. Both Nate and I had a great time and there are actually a few stories about personal finance and other money related issues to pass a long. I also have a nice assortment of photos to share. I’m [...]

I’m off to Las Vegas to meet with Nate in less than 7 hours and it will be nice to get away for a couple of days. Originally I purchased a ticket leaving Friday morning and returning Sunday evening, but Nate decided to take a plane back Monday morning. I decided to try and change [...]
My mom wants to get a new deck for her house. The old one is quite old and really needs to get replaced. She wants it to be a good medium grade redwood. The problem was that I had absolutely no idea how much a deck should cost. The first thing I did was make [...]
Can money buy happiness? It would be nice to give a definite “yes” or “no” making the issue black and white instead of shades of gray.
