I have spent the better part of the last year looking for a rental house to purchase. At one point I got really excited and put an offer in on a house a few blocks from me that the bank was dumping for 50% of it’s value because it was missing all the windows. I was really bummed when I got beat out. (There were
The One Percent–Movie
This is a GREAT movie to watch. It’s an interesting view in to the very rich people in society. I believe you can also find it on Netflix:
Update On Our Finances
Well, it’s been a crazy and hectic summer around our house. We decided to make it even more hectic by refinancing our house as well. I mentioned it previously but now it’s finally complete.

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).

Do you have limited space and don’t want to fill it with tools you’ll hardly ever use? Are you on a limited income and don’t
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
Help Fund a Documentary About Complacency Called “I’m Fine, Thanks”
