Did you really need the extra tax money? I mean, I think I could live pretty well on $660,000 a year. I’d call it a nasty case of moronitis! http://services.silicon.com/itoutsourcing/0,3800004871,39158081,00.htm Outsourcing isn’t saving as much money as once thought. I take
It’s New To You!
Every once in awhile, I like to go back and find a post from the early years. Oh, okay, the early months. This post is back from August and was actually first posted on the blogger site. Unfortunately, when I converted the site here, I lost all the comments, (this post had a lot of comments).

Internet Forums are Your Friend
I’m amazed at what you can learn on internet forums. I first realized how much help they can be when I bought my used Seadoo and needed some help figuring out how to work on it.

What Does Good Money Management Mean to You
I was reading a comment on My Open Wallet and it got me to thinking. What does good money management mean to you?

Oprah’s Debt Diet
I was going to write a post about Oprah’s debt diet. (Their “finale” was yesterday) but I found that “It’s Just Money” did a good job and said pretty much everything I was thinking.

Inheritance
When Dan found out he was going to inherit a fortune when his sickly father died, he decided he needed a woman to enjoy it with. So one evening he went to a singles bar where he spotted the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.

Keeping Up With the Steins
Here’s a link to the movie trailer for “Keeping Up With the Steins”. I think my favorite quote in the trailer is, “It’s not how much money you have…… It’s how much money you spend”. http://www.apple.com/trailers/miramax/keepingupwiththesteins/trailer/
