Living for today - Planning for Tomorrow
I was going to try to say something smart tonight but I realized that I let my company suck all the words out of me today. I guess I’ll just sit here and seek out other’s words. On a separate note, I did get another raise. (Second one in 2 months). Last time was a 10% raise. This time it’s another 5%, although it may
Create Some Good Fortune for Yourself You may have heard this statement before, but I’d like to make it for those of you who haven’t heard it: If you don’t ask, the guaranteed answer is no! Now, with that in mind. Here’s a list of things you can do to try to lower your outgoing expenditures: Call each credit card company and ask them for
Man. I have got to start buying the more expensive gas from the ridiculously overpriced gas station down the street. Today we filled up the tank at Costco. Gas was $2.34 per gallon. We haven’t seen it that low in a LONG time. If you have read this blog for awhile, you know I am a huge Costco fan. I love their prices, and I
I don’t normally pay much attention to payday since we keep enough cash in our savings and checking to cover a couple months bills. Sure I notice when the money shows up in our account, but I don’t exactly count on the money in order to cover expenses on the same day I get paid. (think of all those people who rush their checks to
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

This article doesn’t get very specific, but it does sound the alarm on PC security. I work in the IT field and spend a lot of time keeping up on the latest trends, products and issues for my company. Read this article and then be sure you are
We all know that Saturday nights can be rather expensive. Well, tonight doesn’t have to be. In fact, you could end up “in the 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
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
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. Lately, I’ve been trying to come up with some alternate sources of income. The “passive” income that so many of the PF bloggers out here talk about. The appeal of earning money while I’m sleeping is just too
