So here goes…

I’m sorry I didn’t post earlier today, I’ve been in training camp for work and without email access during the day. I’ll probably be spotty on the posts for the next few days for that reason. I’ll be lucky if I get to post at night.
The upside? I’ll have three No Spend Days. (Well, almost. [...]

I just got finished reading Save Now or Die Trying by Mark Bruno and for the first time, I realized that there are different ways of reading a personal finance book.

I screwed up my WordPress migration so I don’t have any archives by month like other good bloggers do. Instead, I’ve been trying to tag my articles with categories so you can read them topically.
I’m not finished yet, but some old, but I tagged some good articles. I don’t know when I’ll get around to [...]

It’s time to admit it. I’m a math nerd. I was in AP Calc in high school. But my final grade was a D, does that count? I suppose being on the Physics Team means there’s not talking my way out of the math geek label.

I know a lot of PF bloggers are selling their books through Amazon or eBay. Great. Good luck to them. I’d rather not wait in a post office line.
Today, with a friend, I donated books to a non-profit literacy charity and used book store. It was awesome. They took every book I had. I made [...]
