Sunday, December 17th, 2006Honestly, life is riddled with mistakes. I’ve made mistakes before and I know I’ll make mistakes again. The key is accepting not only that you’ve screwed up, but reflecting upon the lessons born from it. Every single episode of The Brady Bunch taught me that nice little life nugget.
But there’s one financial mistake I know […]
From The Blogosphere: Food for Thought
Saturday, December 9th, 2006I wanted to take a moment to highlight some thought provoking posts from around the blogosphere that I found over the course of the past week.
Blueprint for Financial Prosperity muses on the fact that Money Isn’t Everything. As we’re swept up in this stressful and highly commercial time of the year, it’s great to be […]
Friggin Credit Card Debt (Rant)
Thursday, June 22nd, 2006I have come to a point in my life where I despise credit card debt. I vowed last year to stay keep my credit card debt to under a hundred dollars a month. I didn’t mind writing a check to these large corporations for a hundred dollars a month. That’s fine. But, in no […]

Goal: Tomorrow Is A No Spending Day
Sunday, June 4th, 2006I must confess. My spending has been a bit out-of-control lately. I mean, don’t misunderstand me. I haven’t been running all over town buying plasma screens to hang in each room of my house–including my bathroom and kitchen. But I have fallen off the strict “money saving” diet that I committed to over the course […]
Don’t Be Afraid: Face Your Financial Fears
Friday, May 26th, 2006My aim of writing this blog is to demystify the world of personal finance.
