How I Saved Myself $2500
Appliances are some of the best inventions in the world. They’ve made household chores so much easier and have drastically sped up the time it takes to make dinner (that’s how we cook at my house a lot). The only drawback to appliances is that sometimes they break. We have one of those “in wall” microwave/oven combos. It’s a Jenn-air model that came with the

Refinancing the Mortgage With HARP
A few years back we refinanced our mortgage to get a lower interest rate. At the time, we were absolutely thrilled to get a 4.875% mortgage. I never thought I’d see rates that low. The only drawback was that we’d stretch the loan back out to another 30 year term. We decided to mitigate that by paying extra all year long. We did that by

Teens Steal Girl Scout’s Money and Have No Remorse
I hope this isn’t a window in to the minds of most teenage girls. These girls are pathetic. They stole an envelope of money from a Girl Scout and their only concern is the charges they are facing. When asked why they took it, their response was, “It’s money. I want money”. How about working for it like the rest of us? Their parents must

Young People Don’t Have it Very Easy These Days
Rob Carrick with the Globe and Mail wrote an interesting article comparing what it was like to be a young person in 1984 versus what it’s like to be a young person in 2012. It was a great article and really makes you think, especially about the cost of getting an education. The reality is that he could have thrown in health care (if this
