What’s Your Favorite (or Best) Credit Card?

March 30, 2012

Hey guys! So not sure if you’ve been noticing around here or not, but I’ve been slowly adding up new pages to the site that I think can really help out over time (like my best products tab), as well as doing some much needed Spring cleaning too (like clearing out old stuff in my sidebars). I think it’s a little better on the eyes […]

March 29, 2012

(Guest Post by fellow bouncer, Ryan, as part of our Side Hustle Series) “Let’s go guys…drink ‘em up!” For you social butterflies out there, I’m sure these are words you’re used to hearing at the end of the night when you’ve tied a good one on.

I Bought My First Gold Coin!

March 28, 2012

Arrghhhh Matey! I’m a modern day pirate! ;) Though now I don’t really know what exactly to DO with this piece of gold, other than just stash it away in my safe and hope I never have to use it one day, haha… So I guess it begs the question, “Why even get it in the first place?” ;) Well, to that I answer three-fold: […]

My New Dating Adventures ;)

March 26, 2012

(*Ahem* with my wife, not a mistress ;)) For the past 3 months, I’ve slowly transformed from a Mr. Workaholic to a Mr. Casanova – and all because I’ve been paying attention.

Done is Better Than Perfect!

March 22, 2012

(Article today by Evan from My Journey to Millions) There seems to be a recent trend as so-called “cool companies” put in a founder’s statement every time they go public. For example, when Google went public in 2004, they included the statement, “Don’t be evil.” While good, it is not very inspiring. However, Facebook’s recent investor statement literally changed my outlook on starting my own […]
