(Guest post by Odysseas Papadimitriou) We’re now coming down to crunch time for holiday gift buying. Whether you still have a completely unaddressed shopping list or just a few more items to pick up, you’re undoubtedly going to be making some holiday-related purchases in the days and weeks to come. Interestingly enough, that’s exactly why now is the perfect time for a bit of financial
(Guest post by Renee S.) Business owners across the nation are finding themselves in need of a business account that will not cost their business a large amount of money. They want to find banks that will help a business owner consolidate all or most of their business’s financial needs under one bank to make it easier to perform necessary financial transactions. Finding the best
One of my favorite expressions about the lottery is, “The lottery is for people that aren’t good at math!”. Well, I know two people that would probably disagree with me. This morning I read that there were two lucky winners of the Powerball jackpot last night. One of the winners is in Arizona and the other is from Missouri. You can bet those people are

Though I’ve still made quite a few of my own, I’ve been able to avoid some of the bigger ones because family members have forged an error-filled path ahead of me. Read on for a list

As we get closer to winter here in the Northwest, everyone’s minds start thinking about power outages, storms, and cold weather. Normally we only have a few power outages each year and they traditionally don’t last very long. Once in awhile, we get hit with horrible storms that cause power outages that can last a number of days. Where we live, we normally don’t lose
I don’t know if I should admit this or not, but I’ve been spending too much time on Reddit lately. If you aren’t familiar with Reddit, it’s a website that sucks you in and never lets you leave. Okay, maybe that’s a bit dramatic but the reality is that there is SO much content on Reddit that it’s hard to walk away from it. If
