Maybe you know this, or maybe you don’t. Giving money to someone that needs it more than you do is TOP NOTCH. Now, I give money to my church (that I don’t attend very often) every month. That doesn’t necessarily feel all that good. That’s more like paying a monthly subscription to your religion. I’m talking about giving money directly to someone that can use

Emigrant Has My Money!
Since I’m a follower and try to emulate people that are doing good things, I opened an Emigrantdirect account. I funded it with $5000 that I had sitting in my savings account at my credit union. The day after I started the process I read a post that said I may want to consider funding it with just a little bit of money until I’m
Mardi Gras is ON!
Leave it to those New Orleans locals. Mardi gras is one of those festivals that you just can’t “not” do. You’ve heard of the drink down there called the hurricane? Apparently, due to the sensitivity of what’s happened down there they are going to stop serving the “hurricane”. They have started serving a new drink down there though. They call it the “fema”. Apparently it
You Know Something? I’m Pretty Lazy!
Thank god you can still become a millionaire if you are lazy. It’s going to take me a little longer than I’d like, but I’m on track.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock in the backyard of a hermit, you’ve probably heard a thing or two about “sourcingâ€, or “globalizationâ€. I’m reading a book called “The world is flat†(yes, I’m still reading it. I’m going to finish it soon). I mentioned, previously, that this book talks a lot about how our world economy is changing and all the forces that
It’s New To You!
Every now and then I like to bring back a post from long ago for newer readers that haven’t browsed through the depths of ELYM. I could make up some corny story about how the posts have contacted me in my sleep asking for more attention, but, I won’t because that really is corny. So, just check out the links and pretend you are interested:
Cheap Phone Calls
How many ways can you make a cheap phone call these days? A LOT of people use their cel phone minutes to make long distance calls. I’m not a huge fan of doing that simply because it seems like every tenth word doesn’t come through very well. So, what to do, what to do. You can be like me and sign up for Vonage and
