Living for today - Planning for Tomorrow
UPDATE 3: The hot dog sold for $1800 to, who else, Golden Palace Casino. Those guys will buy anything! UPDATE 2: Looks like this guy might not be getting as rich as he thought off of a stale hotdog. It’s all the way down to $1750. (It has dropped a few times) UPDATE: The hot dog is up to $7569 as of 1/28 (It went

I went to Evilmart today. The draw for cheap soups was more than I could fight. Their motto, “Always Low Prices” just seemed to appeal too much to me today. For many, this might seem ridiculous. Why the heck wouldn’t a guy like me shop at Evilmart every day? Guilt, I guess. I’m not thrilled with the wages and benefits that they pay their employees
http://money.cnn.com/2006/01/24/pf Americans among the worst savers in the world. Well, not exactly a surprise since our savings rate is a negative number. http://www.billingsgazette.com/index.php?id=1&display This guy wants to find a company with a traditional pension.

If you need a camera, I’d highly recommend trying to grab one of these before they are all gone. Even at $99, it’s a steal. This camera (Sony DSC-S40) takes 4.1 megapixel images and also takes very decent 640X480 mpeg videos with sound. It holds the Memory stick style sticks, which Costco sells every now and then for about $35 for a 512 meg stick.
Can I tell you a secret? Money management is kind of boring once you put a lot of things on autopilot. I know that automatically investing in my ROTH, and automatically investing in my 401k is the right thing to do but it just isn’t sexy. The money just goes in every two weeks and automatically buys a couple index funds. No adrenaline. No euphoria.
http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/money The single biggest thing I struggle with. Living a little now and enjoying our everyday life as opposed to saving everything for the future. I don’t disagree with this article. It’s obvious that she put a TON of thought in to the decision, which tells me that she isn’t flippant about buying the new car. http://www.philly.com/mld/inquirer/business Long term average returns of various investments.

Okay, maybe I need to quit thinking about earthquake insurance, and start thinking about my legs. I may be WAAAAAAAAY underinsured in the leg department. What the heck am I talking about? Check the link: http://www.ktvotv3.com/Global/story.asp?S=4385224&nav=1LFs
I have nothing but respect for the soldiers who have been over in Iraq. It’s not important whether I believe they should or shouldn’t have been sent there. They got the call and they served their country. I just wish, instead of reading the below article, I had read an article that said, “Soldiers back from Iraq, save, save, save. Of course, that article doesn’t
