Want to keep more money? Obey the law!

November 18, 2009

Nothing I’m about to say will come as a shocker, but it needs to be said ;) And that’s because I’m getting dangerously close to a few of these! I know human nature will always play its part, but without reminders every now and then we tend to keep going until caught. So today, we [...]

"Without asking, my grandfather just bought me a car."

November 16, 2009

So I got an email from a friend of mine this weekend, and she’s faced with an interesting quandary. Usually I can come up with some sort of advice (especially when it comes to money) but this one’s got me stumped, and I’m hoping you guys can chime in and offer her up some of [...]

Cash For Clunkers to go away on Monday.

August 21, 2009

You already know how I feel about Cash For Clunkers, but if you’re planning on hooking it up you better do so by Monday! Although you never know how many more times the Gov’t may decide to extend it ;) Sneaky little devils….for more detailed info check out MSNBC or Cash Money Life.

I’m SO tempted to buy a Porsche right now…

August 11, 2009

Seriously, would it really be that bad? I know it sounds crazy, but I really REALLY feel the need to drive a sex mobile right now (or anytime for that matter). Perhaps someone out there would like a fancy budget blog? Say, for around $100k? Anybody? Bueller? ;) A friend introduced me to this car [...]

"Cash For Clunkers" Cashed Out?

July 31, 2009

Word on the street is that the “Cash for Clunkers” program may already be over – less than a week since it started! I won’t bore you with all the details here (mainly because I’m lazy and there’s already so much circulating around the webs right now anyways), but I did think it was prudent [...]

How much do you pay for car insurance? Not $1600 right?

January 27, 2009

That’s how much a friend of mine pays every 6 months – $1600! (ouch). I guess it doesn’t help having a couple DUI’s and a fancy a$$ sports car ;) With extremes like that aside though, what do you think the average person pays for car insurance? I’m going to guess $1000/6 months, and now [...]

Am i slow, or did gas just plummet like a mother this month?

December 12, 2008

I’ve noticed it hasn’t gone UP at all, but i feel like i just transported back into 2001! It’s amazing. The last time i blogged about gas it was around $4-something and i filled my Toyota Highlander for $60.56! Know how much i spent yesterday? $27.89!!! for the same almost-16 gallon tank full, only this [...]

Save gas and drive the home stretch w/out hitting the pedal!

September 25, 2008

FiveCentNickel had an excellent post this morning on improving your gas mileage by slowing down. It’s one of those “theories” out there that people are always trying to prove themselves, and Nickel did it! To be honest, I really dont’ have the patience to track it myself, BUT his post DID remind me of my [...]

I Did It! I Sold The Elusive SUV In Today’s Market :)

August 14, 2008

$18,900 less in debt, and feelin’ good! It wasn’t the easiest thing to do, but it sure was fun reaching the finish line. I put the Toyota Highlander on the market about a month ago, and this was the first hit i got! And to be honest, I almost just deleted it from the inbox [...]

My Toyota Highlander is up For Sale, and Everyone’s hatin’

July 29, 2008

Man, this time last year it would have been sold instantly! Leather, heated seats, 3rd row, 6-cd changer, all luxury man – it’s a great buy. But here we are, one year later and it’s already got a bad rap. The second you call it an SUV (*ghasp!) it gets discriminated against :( Sure it [...]
