Just tidbits about money and finance.

I might have to switch the account which receives it, but I got my first paycheck last week via direct deposit because my new company asks us to fill out that paperwork before we even start.
One thing that has always bothered me was losing a few days worth of interest because I was sending my [...]

This isn’t a book review, though these remarks are in reaction to reading the book.
Many years ago in high school a friend of mine recommended Lewis’ first book, Liar’s Poker. Growing up in the ’80’s, it seemed like Liar’s Poker was the book that went with Wall Street
, the movie that made Gordon Gekko a [...]

My boyfriend has a huge flower vase full of coins. We regularly dump our change into it and fish out change we need for the Metro or the vending machine at work.
While my boyfriend was away on a business trip last month, I got it into my head that I didn’t want to lug this [...]

NCN recently asked what is your checking and savings system?
I have three checking accounts and two savings accounts. Let me explain.
I have a checking account at Bank #1 because it was convenient at the time. I forget entirely why that was now. But when I bought my condo, I needed a cashier’s check and Bank [...]

1) I can’t invest in Lending Club because DC lenders are not allowed. Don’t ask me how another DC PF blogger does it. I assume they began their account while living outside the District.

Corporate responsibility and stewardship. He’s taking care of my taxpayer money and helping his community in the ways it needs helping.

ING Direct Savings accounts will earn you $25 for an opening deposit amount of $250 or more. If you use a referral link, I’ll get $10.
I still haven’t used mine up. Thanks to Tricia at Blogging Away Debt, I got motivated to figure out how to make links to post in my blog. As they [...]

Oh dear. I still write paper checks for my HOA fee. I like to have an imaged copy of it, but I suppose I can get away from paper checks now primarily because of my sheer laziness outweighs the check writing. I have no impetus for ordering new checks. I don’t need to express myself [...]

Yes indeedy. I did it.
I am cheesed off with Wachovia for charging me to download from within Quicken, but not so cheesed off as to kill that account. I really do feel more comfortable with a brick and mortar bank locally. So this means my Philadelphia based checking bank is going the way of the [...]
