Living for today - Planning for Tomorrow
As I was working on the blog layout, I knew I needed to manipulate a couple graphics. I’m absolutely horrible at graphics work, as evidenced by my header. I’ve always liked playing around with Photoshop and really enjoyed some of the plugins they had for it when I used it a few years ago. Well, that was many versions ago so I don’t even have

I have posted about this subject before but I recently read an article that did a good job of explaining this. A professor got access to a database of people that have been participating in a study for the last 25 years. It started when they were in college and now these people are in their forties. While the original study didn’t cover finances, it
I love technology just as much as the next guy and have been watching the Optimus keyboard as it winds it’s way through the design and production lifecycle.

You find someone that is kind, funny, supportive, complimentary and attractive but their spending habits are horrendous. (See below) Dear Prudence,I’m in my early 50s, and this is my first real relationship in about four years. Good men have been hard to find.
It’s obviously not a secret. Everyone loves to spend money. The desire to acquire new things is so programmed in to our minds that it’s almost primal. Just go next door, or visit a relative, or simply go to the mall and “people watch”. Everywhere you look, people are either spending money, or thinking about spending money to buy things that they might need, although most
Flexo over at Consumerism Commentary has a post about an 86 year old man who was doing some banking at a Bank Of America. The teller noticed that he had a high account balance (good for him) and recommended he talk to one of their investment advisers. Long story short, the man ended up being sold a variable annuity. He has to live until 2010
