While Nate and I were creating the beer calculator and saving tips, Nate got it into his mind that what he really wanted was a set of frosty beer mugs (“beer just tastes better when it comes from a frosty beer mug rather than a cold bottle”), so we went on a quest to get [...]
There are a large number of steps you can take to help you become financially successful, but all your hard work can be for nothing if you are also doing things that undermine the financial success you’re seeking. The financial steps to success are important, but understanding the steps that will ensure financial failure are [...]
Have economics always confused you? There is an excellent 10 part (each part being a single page) series put together by Walter Williams who is a professor of economics at George Mason University called Economics for the Citizen. If you have an interest in economics and how it works but have never had the time [...]
Everyone has to take the Halloween candy plunge at some point and today was that day. $2.50 for a bunch of bite size candy bars. The question, as always, is will they last until tomorrow night or will I have to take another run to the grocery store to get another bag? That is always [...]
This is what happens when me and Nate get together…I’m not sure if it’s a good thing or not, but it certainly keeps us entertained.

Let’s give some kudos to Nate! He has a neat little set up where instead of purchasing a TV he decided to get a really nice computer monitor and hook his cable directly into it. This meant that instead of needing to purchase two expensive electronics (high quality computer screen and a high definition TV), [...]
A couple of weeks ago I mentioned how Dryer Tips was one of those sites that just fell into place where I was already researching the information and the domain name was available. It then made perfect sense to place up another satellite site that complimented it and thus this weekend I placed up Washer [...]
One of the most expensive aspects to travel these days is the cost of accommodations. During my recent trip to Victoria, I didn’t spend a dime since I stayed with my sister in their new house (pictured above). As I write this I’m staying with Nate at his apartment in Seattle. During the entire 10 [...]
