Just tidbits about money and finance.
From the monthly archives:
Yet another month of credit card debts racked up. This is frightening. I haven’t had this much credit card debt ever. Some of it was a balance transfer of other debt which is sitting at 0%. But most of it is not. Most of it is from 2006, traveling, dental work, automobile repairs and overall [...]

I’ve been exhausted lately due to work and a busy social calendar. This means I haven’t been able to devote much to reconfiguring this blog till today.
I have quite the To Do list. Namely, turn off registered comments, or else Jim will never visit me again, and I need his traffic spill-over. I also need [...]

Hat tip to Madame X. This one is great. Why people leave their jobs.
Boston Gal on Identity Theft. It’s usually done by family members who are privy to your details.
Hat tip to Amanda at Young And Broke for pointing me to this article about a ‘Potemkin life’, and generally regretting overspending and keeping up with [...]

Milton Friedman has passed away.
I’m not a huge fan of his. I’m not sure that the free market rules all, but I did find him very charming in a recent Wall Street Journal interview with his wife, Rose.
On a different note, I am sorry that I don’t have searchable archives posted. It’s one of the [...]

I keep two checking accounts. I split them up and do direct deposit at work. I first set them up like this after calculating my fixed payments every month. I leave about a $50.00-200.00 cushion every month so I don’t over draw the account. That was [...]

ADA has been around for over 10 years and it’s amazing that a financial services company does not know what to do with a [...]

I said I’d write these Frozen Dinner Reviews and then promptly stopped. I have no idea what number we’re on, so I’ll stop numbering them now.
Since I am on an effort to stop dining out so frequently, I stocked up on frozen food again. With a loaf of bread and some salad, frozen dinners aren’t [...]

I don’t consider myself an audiophile. I don’t buy CD’s. But lately I’ve been obsessed with my little iPod Nano, I won from a blog contest at IndexCreditCards.com this fall.
I just prepped a post about opera. I love the opera. I love live music performances. But how do you get a good show on the [...]

NPR ran a story this morning about Christian values investing. I found it rather fascinating. I certainly believe in spending your money on things you believe in. I think voting with your dollars is important. Buying power isn’t just about how much you get for your dollar, but moral values you support as well.
However, I’d [...]

That is the question.
If I can figure out how to put up car photos with WP, I will. I took some photos this morning of the damage. You can clearly see the silver paint scratches on the car. It’s technically on two front panels and I’m lucky he didn’t take out the headlight.
I have a [...]
