Living for today - Planning for Tomorrow
Oh, how I wish I lived in an area where I could walk to work, or at least ride my bike. I had to fill the tank today and gas cost me over $3.00 per gallon. Since I drive a Toyota Tacoma, I only get about 19 miles to the gallon. I’ve been driving for work a bit and get paid mileage, which is helping
We’ve all heard the phrase, “Keeping up with the Jones’”. If you don’t know what that means, it’s really quite simple. Basically it is a phrase used when one person compares what they have to what someone they associate with has. That sounded a little confusing. Let me give you an example: Bob lives at 123 Main Street. From the outside, it looks like Bob

Her’s is falling apart and doesn’t hold much of a charge and mine won’t allow you to charge it unless it’s in the car.

I was browsing through personal finance articles and came upon this recent article by Rodney Sessions on net worth (in the Hattiesburg American). Rodney spends the majority of the article asking why we shouldn’t consider other things as part of our net worth. I’m not sure Rodney understands the point of calculating your net worth.

Mary Winkler, who is on trial for killing her husband was apparently overdrawn by about $5,000 in one of her accounts. Additionally, she had tried to deposit checks from another bank account that didn’t have the funds to pay those checks. I didn’t realize that they called that “kiting checks”. The banker warned her that kiting checks was illegal and could result in criminal charges
I wanted to get this out here as soon as possible. IMPORTANT: If you buy a video camera from Best Buy, put it in a blender, and then blend it in to a million little pieces, those people at Best Buy will not accept it as a return! I know what you are thinking: “What kind of crappy return policy is that?”. Well, I would
I’m not a huge fan of Jim Cramer. Every time I’ve tried to watch his show, I find myself feeling overwhelmed. I don’t mean I feel overwhelmed with the information that he’s yelling about.
