Bloggers put together a wonderful tribute to all those that lost their lives in the September 11 attacks that is well worth a visit today. 3,412 volunteer bloggers honored the memories of those who died in the September 11 attacks by each writing a tribute about one of those that died in the September 11 [...]
People often ask me how I came to write about personal finances. It kind of fell into my lap, but I get ahead of myself… I graduated from Colorado College with a degree in Sociology. If you ever want to graduate with a completely worthless degree, choose Sociology. While the actual required readings and courses [...]
I spent a good portion of today painting the balcony which gave me time to think. Now having the time to think would usually be thought of as a good opportunity – a time to relax and possibly think about all those vacations that I want to take in the future. I, on the other [...]
There are certain areas that I talk about quite a bit in this blog, but there are other areas that I don’t mention as often. Tim over at My Money Forest asked me quite a few questions for his blog about Nate and I and SavingAdvice.com, some of which I have not answered before here. [...]

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 [...]
With the latest airline terrorist plot in the UK, I’m expecting even the short jaunt to Las Vegas to be a major hassle getting through the airport. I’m hoping that since I’m taking a fairly early flight I will be spared the brunt of it, but still plan to get there at least 1.5 to [...]
This is another post that only has a minor connection to actual personal finance, but might explain why there may be a bit less posting than normal this week. This is going to be one of the busiest and most exciting weeks this summer for me. First and foremost, this Friday Nate and I will [...]
