  • How to Make the Most of Daily Deal Websites

    I was, literally, mesmerized by the women featured on TLC's Extreme Couponing. Folks like me are mere mortals in their eyes. How in the world do you buy $2,000 worth of groceries for 100 bucks? Although most of us don't have the organization skills, shamelessness, or patience of gods, we can still ...

  • 7 Things You Didn't Know Were Free at the Library

    The library isn't a brick and mortar version of Amazon filled with out-of-print books. And it doesn't exist for the sole purpose of housing the complete series of Lost. If you read any version of the countless, generic 99 Ways to Save articles, you'd think the library is some old throwaway. A ...

  • Where to Buy Movie Tickets For Cheap Online

    Nothing's more timeless than griping about movie ticket prices, and for good reason. Where I live, an adult movie pass, generally, costs at least $11. After popcorn and drinks, a night at the movies is like $40 for two adults. That's cuhrazy! Fortunately, you don't have to pay full price at ...

  • Seriously, You Really Do Have More Than You Think: How to Earn Extra Cash With Ordinary Stuff

    Do you remember that song by Poison Clan, Shake Whatcha Mama Gave Ya? In all of its ignorance, strangely, you can find money making wisdom buried in the lyrics. What I hear Poison Clan saying is "use what you got." You might not got a lot, but you got something. Now shake it ...

  • 5 Time Management Tips for the Employed Entrepreneur

    I don't subscribe to the popular belief that time is money. Time is far more precious. Don't tell my Bible thumping friends I said this, but the older I get, the more I question whether another life exists beyond this one. I don't wanna hang my hopes on an uncertain afterlife. All ...

This is My Confession

October 31, 2009

I’ve been a bum. In case you don’t know what I’m referring to, take a look at the number of blog postings during September and October 2009 compared to August 2009 on the sidebar. It’s ridiculous. Some changes must be made going forward. But I would like to add that it’s not totally my fault. [...]

Go Big and Go Broke

October 28, 2009

There’s nothing wrong with investing in yourself. Actually, I’m a huge proponent of continual self improvement. I’m not averse to spending money to ultimately make money, and I have a sneaking suspicion you aren’t either. Three sentences in and you should already know we’re going to take this discussion in a different direction. I’m not a [...]

What’s Your Gazingus Pin?

October 19, 2009

Shopping is a fairly easy and mindless way to pass the time. When I couldn’t think of anything more meaningful to do, I’d hit the mall. The success of an impromptu trip to the mall was based on the number of products purchased. Few experiences were more fulfilling than exiting the mall with multiple bags of goodies on each arm.

A Love Affair with Frugality and Frivolity

October 16, 2009

After I paid off my final debt in December 2008, I really wanted to treat myself to a ginormous leather designer handbag. Reluctant to abandon the habits that led to debt freedom, I set a $500 cap on this piece of shoulder art that’d accompany me for all of 2009.

Don’t Get Distracted by Misguided Money Advice

October 1, 2009

Regular readers of You Have More Than You Think know my opinion of the “I deserve it” mentality. A few days ago, I was reminded of another line of reasoning that caused my neck muscles to tense up. While reading the Wall Street Journal article “Saving Again? Here’s a Way to Do It Right,” I [...]

Did We Learn Anything from the Recession?

September 21, 2009

Last Tuesday, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said the recession is “very likely over.” Many radio talk show hosts, television personalities, and others who are utterly clueless on matters of the economy weighed in to assess the validity of the Chairman’s statement. I’m not going to argue with the man. If he says the recession is [...]

Why Your Prayers Are Powerless Over Your Money

September 15, 2009

During the infancy of You Have More Than You Think, I wondered if I should discuss religion. After all, our religious beliefs, or lack thereof, could strongly influence the way we manage our money. But still, religion is such a sensitive issue. I don’t wanna get any of my readers all worked up if I [...]

A Time to Challenge Cookie Cutter Financial Advice

September 9, 2009

Now that I’m back from vacation, I’ve been pondering a blog post that’ll knock your socks off. The financial argument I’m about to put to you is profound, earth shattering, mind blowing even. It is radical. I might go so far to say that it’s soul shifting.

The Softer Side of Building Financial Wealth

September 4, 2009

When I was a kid, there wasn’t a single act of dishonesty that wouldn’t provoke my mother’s wrath. Telling a lie was a surefire way to getting beat/spanked/whipped. (Don’t worry. I wasn’t abused.) It’s the memory of my mother’s violent reaction in response to even minor deception that makes it so difficult for me to [...]

The Weekly Roundup (More Like Recap)

August 29, 2009

Due to a severe case of vacationitis (Ashley from SpendOnLife.com diagnosed me), I was unable to post as often as I would’ve liked this week. This condition also made it extremely taxing to do anything beyond daydream about being off from work for 10 days straight. I didn’t do much reading of other peoples’ blog [...]
