So, it’s that time of year again. For me, it’s snowy, icy, and cold. We’re expecting 2-4 inches tonight, then frozen drizzle tomorrow morning. The good news is that I checked back over the course of the last couple of months and am quite surprised. It turns out that my NET WORTH has been increasing […]

I have been doing some more thinking lately and came to a few conclusions. I just came to this one today (hard to believe), but I’m completely pulling out of Lending Club. It really hasn’t done much for me. On the surface level it is an excellent idea. The implementation, however, doesn’t seem conducive to

Well, here’s what I have going through my head at this point in time: #1 thought… A huge goal… I have a goal that I set in September of last year (2009) that I am looking to complete in 2014. So there are only a few years to complete it. Marriage / kids… Um… I

It was too high-level
So I know it has been a while, but I’m finally back. I have been traveling, moving, cruising, and RESEARCHING (the most important of the bunch). It always appears that the more research you do, the more you learn. That’s quite an interesting correlation, but some can’t seem to figure it out. Anyway, I’m back

So, I just finished another book: The Four Hour Work Week By: Timothy Ferriss What I Gained From It (WIGFI): STOP DOING EVERYTHING YOURSELF! Pay somebody else (who’s probably going to do a better job on the project than you) to do it. Do what it is that you want to do! And started another

So I came across another service. It’s called Yodlee. I actually think American Express actually ripped off most of their stuff, because they are pretty much exact clones. Yodlee doesn’t require a certain credit card account, unlike American Express. It’s just plain free. I really like the fact that you can consolidate all of your

So I did my monthly finances check / budget last night and realized that last month was a down month. Way down. But the good news is that I am 100% CREDIT CARD DEBT FREE!!! So that’s pretty good. Believe it or not, it only took about 5-6 months. It was about 14-15 thousand dollars.
