Just tidbits about money and finance.
From the monthly archives:
No, not talking about politics here. I get enough of that in DC just be living here.
I’m talking about my credit cards and this year’s goals. The bathroom renovation was a major setback for me. But I ran some numbers and I’m *slightly* better off than I initially reported on my Net Worth IQ graph [...]

Hooray for handy boyfriends!
Several months ago, boyfriend’s dog accidentally peed on my laptop. Instead of paying the ridiculous $750 fee to repair my laptop or buying me a new one, we decided that he was going to try fixing it. eBay has a ton of MacBook parts on sale from other damaged laptops that weren’t [...]

I signed up to buy company stock with automatic deductions. They were supposed to kick in this week. However, there were problems with my enrollment forms. That’s ok though since it leaves me extra money this month to put towards my credit cards. I was trying to bump up my savings but I was a [...]

No. I’m not some kind of gazillionaire on WoW. But I did have lots of PoE on Puzzle Pirates at one time. Enough to buy a ship. But alas, my pirating life has fallen prey to the ravenous beast known as blogging. Yarr, matey, ’tis true. Blogging be a harsh mistress.
