Just tidbits about money and finance.
From the monthly archives:
I look like the Elephant Woman. The left side of my face is where the implants were put in and it looks a fright. I am swollen up. I’ve eaten nothing but mashed potatoes for the last two days. I bought some from KFC on Thursday night because for some reason I really wanted fried [...]

Wish me luck. Surgery is Friday morning. For the commenter who asked me what I was doing and why it costs so freakin’ much, I will explain. I think it might help people who are considering dental replacement work understand the costs and options.

Cap, of Stop Buying Crap, was interviwed this month at Mint’s blog.
Cap is one of the first PF bloggers I met online and he’s pretty interesting. He tells it like it is with his blog title.
He’s had a few thought provoking posts lately including asking us when did we start caring about personal finance and [...]

For the last few months, I’ve been holding back an off-topic post about privacy and the Internet. I’ve been trying to keep this blog afloat and on topic as much as I can and still hold down my day job and have a life.

I’m shopping for a different checking account in VA. I am royally irritated with Wachovia for charging Quicken users from avoiding the Wachovia website. While I have been [...]

FMF is big on car dealerships. A lot of other PF bloggers are not. I’m in the dealership camp, but only begrudgingly. First off, you need to know that my pop ran a private garage while I was growing up, but started out as a dealer mechanic for Ford. I will try to pick a [...]

My teeth are going to cost me an arm and a leg this year. The estimated charges for the last surgery is $6K. But once it’s done, it’s done. There goes all my Medical FSA money, but that’s what this money was for anyway. It’s going to cost me about $3K at time of service, [...]

I put in $100.00 just a few months ago and right now, it’s worth $102.33 as of the end of February. As of this weekend, it’s worth $103.00 because there are payments posted since the 1st of the March.
It’s still fun and appealing to do this, but I’m staying focused on my credit cards. No [...]
