I absolutely hate when I do things like this. I had a clean up day and ended up coming across a lot of interesting stuff I had stored for years. While that was fun to see, I also came across a few items that didn’t make me happy. Among all the stuff, I found 5 [...]
I bet you’re looking at this photo and wondering what the hell it has to do with money. I don’t play golf much, but I do have a friend that invites me to play from time to time which he has done for this week. Since I don’t play a whole lot, I’m not the [...]
If you were looking for signs that the financial world was coming to an end, it would be things like this that would give you pause. I guess I should have seen it coming – credit card companies have been using characters to get people to apply for their credit cards for some time now, [...]
I was thinking the other day about how money affects our daily lives and decided that I will begin recording some of the ways I see money on a daily basis. I picked up my dad and his wife from the airport the other day where they had been on a trip in Europe for [...]

I explained to him that there were a lot of opportunities to exercise for free, but he gave me several compelling reasons why that wouldn’t necessarily work for him: He has [...]
I came across this personal finance article today in the Philadelphia Inquirer today that gives the following advice regarding I-Bonds: Thinking of buying inflation-adjusted U.S. savings bonds? Then gather your cash quickly. Chances are, you’ll get a better deal with I-bonds purchased this month than with the ones coming to market Nov. 1. The reasoning? [...]
I placed up a new satellite site this weekend which was one of those that just happened to fall into place. I was going through saving tips on the main site for another project I’ve been working on and realized that the domain Dryer Tips was available. Since I already had a list of tips [...]
I’m sure that I’m not the only one that finds themselves in the Halloween candy trap this time of the year. It’s impossible to walk into the grocery store (or any other retail store for that matter) and not see huge amounts of candy on sale for Halloween. I have to use extreme self control [...]
