Save more. Earn more. Have more.
It’s over. September has come and gone. Last month, I set one goal - to eat the food in my freezer. The question now is whether I accomplished that goal. Weeeeell, not exactly. I could’ve done better. You may have noticed there’s some September food in my October freezer. To be honest, I’m only slightly [...]
Last night, I missed the Season 2 premiere of TLC’s Extreme Couponing. That was no mistake. I’ve decided I’m going to “miss” it indefinitely. You’d think a self proclaimed cheap, money hungry, miser like myself would pay attention. You’d think I’d be interested in uncovering the secrets of those who’ve mastered the art of [...]
Whenever I realize I didn’t get the absolute best deal, I pout, cuss, and vow to redeem myself on the next purchase. As a result, I’ve been known to spend countless hours on a single, seemingly immaterial purchase decision. Surely, I’m not alone. Like me, you approach bargain hunting with the finesse and aggression of [...]
If you’re dealing with reduced hours on your job, you’re completely out of work, or you’re just a plain ol’ money grubber like myself, you might be interested in a little secret I have on how to find quick ways to make money.

You may not know this about me, but I’m a huuuuge fan of Bravo’s Real Housewives. With the exception of Miami and D.C., I love ‘em all. The Housewives’ lives are plagued with entertaining ridiculosity when the cameras are rolling and when they’re not. The show is just too good. In 2006, when The Real Housewives [...]
I want to hear what you think about this. The other day, a reader emailed me an exchange he had with a Facebook friend. The Census Bureau recently reported that in 2010 over 46 million – nearly 1 in 6 Americans, lived in poverty. While the media dramatized these findings, my reader shared his reaction [...]
Who else has an irrational fear of becoming homeless? Anyone? I guess it’s just me, huh? As much as I pride myself on being a logical, semi-mentally stable person, the thought of ending up on the streets haunts me daily. It’s crazy, I know. Although the possibility of living in a cardboard fort under a [...]
I swear. My employer is trying to fatten up us naive, chubby cheeked employees to be slaughtered. Even though I haven’t gotten around to cooking everything on my menu plan, I’ve barely spent any money on food this month. The organization I work for is always feeding me. Over the past few weeks I’ve been [...]
