Living for today - Planning for Tomorrow
It’s ashame that an organization like this has to exist, but I guess it at least gives me some sense that there are a few sane people left on the planet: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070122/ap_on_re_us/bi… I wonder why we’ve become so materialistic and competitive? Could it be the BILLIONS of dollars that are spent annually to tell us how to think?
Since I’m one who really finds myself annoyed with women who do little else in life than spend money on themselves, I found this article rather interesting. I’m much happier with a good looking, kind, caring wife who contributes to our household by taking care of our daughter, helping with the chores and earning some income. (And she does far more than that but you
UPDATE: Well, as a reader points out, it turns out this isn’t legit. Darn. I had hoped that this was real. There is nothing more entertaining than a whiney rich girl not getting her way. Okay, yes. I’m pathetic. :)
As I was sitting here navigating the social security website trying to figure out whether my mom is entitled to some of my father’s social security benefits, it occurred to me that maybe someone out there has had some experience with this situation and might have some suggestions. Situation: Father: 67 Mother: 62 and still working Father was receiving social security benefits (no retirement or
I apologize for the lack of posts lately. Our lives have been rather turned upside down over the last few weeks. It all started with my parent’s house catching on fire on Dec 17th. They were displaced and were staying at my sisters. Then, on New Years Eve my dad had a massive heart attack and passed away. I don’t want to ask how much one
Have you ever thrown up just a little bit in your mouth? I did today when I watched an episode of “My Super Sweet Sixteen” on MTV. They should rename this show “How Not to Raise a Child”. It all started going south for me when the show intro started. It basically shows a bunch of spoiled little girls posing. All these girls have one
I’m just taking a quick break from the buzz on Christmas morning. My three year old daughter woke up this morning and immediately wanted to check to see if Santa had come to the house. She screamed with delight when she saw the cookies she had left out for him were gone and only crumbs were left. Once she got over the excitement that he
Let me be the first to raise my hand. I’ve decided to feel fortunate for the profession I’m in. Working with computers is far less taxing than diving through miles and miles of human waste to make sure there aren’t any clogs in the system…… Oh, and the pay is much better too. $400 a month? I know it’s all relative to the economy that
Sorry about the silence on the blog lately. We’ve had kind of a disastrous week. We live in the Pacific Northwest and were hit with a significant storm last Thursday. Winds peaked at 69 miles per hour at our house and we lost a couple sections of fence. Not a big deal. With the storm came the chaos that you might expect. Over 1 million
Well here’s an interesting tidbit. Apparently our money is worth more melted down that it is with all of the US Mint’s work done on it. Before you start firing up the coals, you might want to check in to the laws. I guess it’s illegal to melt money and I certainly don’t want to end up in prison. You know how the pecking order
