Save more. Earn more. Have more.
One quick pass through the Sunday newspaper sales inserts and you may arrive at an erroneous conclusion – that coupons are only available for junk food. Well, that’s simply not true. Yes. Most of the items you find coupons for are highly processed and fattening. However, there are still opportunities to save money on healthy [...]
Since I was a child, I could not understand why a certain segment of our population was granted fewer rights than the rest. Aren’t we all Americans? You mind your business. I’ll mind mine. As long as no one is harmed by the consensual relationship of two (or three or four) mentally competent adults, then [...]
What better way to start the week off than with a little roundy roundup of stuff that happened last week? I tried to get this out on Saturday. Really, I did. But, you know…sleep happens. Employment I’ve been tremendously blessed in the weak job market we’ve experienced over the last couple years. Unfortunately, with an [...]
A few nights ago, I received a late phone call from a really close friend, Larissa. She wanted to borrow $1,000 to pay her rent. Yes. Bonds and other debt instruments are part of almost any well diversified investment portfolio. However, a $1,000 loan to someone who doesn’t have the means to repay or the [...]
Contrary to popular belief, you don’t have to spend a lot of money to be beautiful. Giving up your weekly hair appointment won’t cause you to metamorphose into a walking version of a Nick Nolte mug shot. If you’re willing to do the work yourself, you’ll save loads of money and look fabulous doing it. [...]
For a few months now, I’ve sat on an article that’s just too good to keep to myself: Why True Grit Matters in the Face of Adversity. I won’t go too much into the details, but suffice it to say the article chronicles one woman’s 20-year, and counting, fight to reduce smoking and improve the health [...]
Over the last few days, I’ve been reading How to Shop for Free: Shopping Secrets for Women Who Love to Get Something for Nothing by Kathy Spenser. This book is packed, packed I tell you, with valuable information on how to score tons of coupons, combine them with store sales, and get a bunch of [...]
What’s all this foolish talk about “modern day slavery”? A few months ago, Adrian Peterson, a running back for the Minnesota Vikings – and a free man I might add – likened himself to a modern day slave. He drew the comparison during a Yahoo Sports interview regarding the NFL lockout. In the interest of [...]
The rough economy over the last couple years has attracted a whole new brood to the internets for advice on how to stretch a dollar. Of course there are those like me who love a good deal so much we’ll all but physically beat a discount out of a merchant. The problem many people face [...]
Maybe it’s just me, but I’m personally offended when I can’t get a good deal. Even if you don’t make me an irresistible offer, at least let me have a discount – 5%, 10%, 15%, something. I’ll even settle for a 3% cash back offer. Anything that’ll allow me to complete my purchase feeling somewhat victorious. In [...]
