I must be the luckiest guy in the world. I just received yet another opportunity to receive millions of dollars in free money. You can bet I’ll be following up to find out how much of my own money I need to transfer in order to get access to these funds! (Why are people still falling for these? This is getting ridiculous.) I’m sure Nissan

I have finally made the decision to switch from a plain old “cheap” cel phone to a phone that has data, web access, email etc etc. It has been a long road for me to get to this point. I have watched many friends use these smart phone devices (think: Iphone) and have drooled at the thought. What has kept me from getting one up

I have to admit I’m a bit of a Facebook junkie after signing up a couple months ago. I received an email today from a friend on Facebook that looked legit and told me to click on a link: Here is what the email said: Julie sent you a message.

Over the last few decades we’ve seen expansion and growth that boggles the mind. Now that we are in a recession that is looking to be one of the most severe in many decades, it’s amazing to see how consumption can just drop so significantly.

With all the commercials on tv these days about how I could be saving a ton of money on my car insurance, I’ve had this little bug in the back of my head chastising me for not having checked my insurance rates in many years. I have been with the same insurance company for about 15 years and they have made a TON of money

This graphic is fascinating. It shows the job increases and losses since January of 2006. Talk about going from Blue to RED! http://www.slate.com/id/2216238/

You can’t help but stumble across links to articles about the economy these days. I’ve probably read more than would be considered healthy. Here are a few that I found interesting: The New Survivor Guilt. I’ve found myself feeling bogged down and less enthusiastic at work as the work piles up and there is no relief in sight. Like the article says, I haven’t complained

Yet another example where it’s clear that banks are out to make as much money off of you as possible. I will never use a commercial bank again. I’d much rather use a credit union, who’s sole point of existence is to provide products and services to it’s members without making a profit. If you have a choice, why choose an institution that needs to

If you are still employed you may find yourself quite comfortable eating whatever happens to suit your fancy each day. Maybe it’s steak, or maybe you’re just fine with Top Ramen or mac and cheese. The good news is that you have a choice on what you eat every day. Unfortunately more and more people don’t have that choice. They open their cupboards and there

I didn’t mention it in January, but this marks the fourth year that I’ve been blogging on Everybody Loves Your Money. It’s amazing how far the personal finance blogging world has come since I started. I remember back when there was a much smaller number of personal finance blogs. Now, I have trouble keeping up with all of them. While I haven’t been as active
