I Wanna Need LESS Money, Not More.

Are You Good at Returning Things?

September 20, 2011

If there’s one thing I usually hear over and over again from people, it’s that they need to get better about returning things. They always say it’s on their list, and they’ll be getting to it soon, but something tells me it never actually gets done ;)  Which is kinda weird to me cuz it’s [...]

What I Learned From Collecting Basketball Cards

August 25, 2011

I was reading someone’s blog post the other day, and randomly this flashback of collecting basketball cards came to mind (wtf?).

3 Things Money Can’t Buy… *sniff*

August 18, 2011

As I’m sitting here typing, I feel like crap and my nose and eyes seem like they have an endless supply of water stored up in my face.  I don’t know what happened in the past 24 hours, but needless to say I’m sick as a dogg. (spelled just like Snoop would have it)  But [...]

July 28, 2011

There’s been a smarty pants leaving comments on this blog lately, and I thought I’d highlight one of them because the guy knows what he’s talking about :)  And he’s also pretty damn good at conveying his message.

July 5, 2011

MSNBC had an interesting article up the other day on the supposed lessons we’ve all learned from the recession. I really REALLY hope this is indeed the case, but something tells me all will be “back to normal” in no time – if we haven’t gotten to that point already. I remember when all this [...]

Spending More to Save More

June 28, 2011

I’m pretty sure I’ve blogged about this before, but spending more to save more always drives us personal finance bloggers crazy ;) Especially for people like me who sometimes fall for them, and then have to report back to you about it!
