A Life Where ?or Plastic? isn?t an Option
2008-03-07 17:10:00 Times are changing, for sure. I’m not sure I remember the last time I saw a paper bag from the grocery store. Even those are taboo now. It’s darn near impossible not to get dirty looks from the crunchy tree-hugging granola-eating Whole Foods crowd these days. How on earth do kids make bookcovers for their text books now? ...

All-Star on the Cheap
2008-03-07 15:57:00 I got my first pair of Chuck Taylors in 1985. At the time they were just coming back into style, and if I didn’t walk in on the first day of school with a sweet new pair of high-tops, well, I’d be destined to be an outcast for the rest of the school year. My mom probably ... More About: All Star , Star , Retro , Cheap
Money: Working Wonders to Bring out Snitches
2008-03-06 13:30:00 Some people do things just for the sake of doing things. Some do things because it’s the right thing to do. It makes them feel good. But then there are those people who won’t do anything… unless they get paid for it and that’s what this post is about. From a recent editorial in my local paper: Money , the ...

Live like Most Won?t to Live like Most Can?t
2008-03-05 16:14:00 During this lull in my finances, instead of looking ahead one month at a time, I’ve been extrapolating the data out farther and farther to try to set a plan for the future. I used to think there would always be bills to pay. No end in sight. That’s just the way it was ... More About: Life , Finance , Motivation , Success , Live
9 Days of Financial Idling Ahead
2008-03-04 15:11:00 So, I’m broke until the 13th. That’s 9 days away. What to do? Well, first off, I’m not *really* broke, but I am low enough to have received a “Low Balance Threshold” email from Bank of America this morning. Anytime one of those comes through, well, I feel broke. The tough part is that when you’re used to ... More About: Finance , Financial , Days , Ahead
Goals Update: Two Months Down, 10 to go?
2008-03-03 16:06:00 Time to see how things have progressed on my goals for 2008… Eliminate all credit card debt by the end of June 2008. Current credit card debt is $10318. I’m aiming to achieve this goal slightly ahead of schedule, by about a month, according to the snowball plan I started in November. At the end of February, ...

Net Worth Update: March 2008
2008-03-02 14:31:00 Well, not much to report for February… It was neither a good month or a bad month with less than a 1% increase in total net worth. And had it not been for my federal tax refund coming in on February 29th, it would have been a down month — my first since July 2007. The ... More About: Finance , Update , Net worth , Worth , March
Out Of School, Into Debt
2008-03-02 14:02:00 Along the lines of my post from Friday regarding student loans and how I consider them to be a raw deal, I read this article by Janet Kidd Stewart in the newspaper this morning: Carrying a lot of financial baggage as she starts her adult financial life, Ashley Cheeks needs some help with the heavy lifting.

Student Loans - A Raw Deal?
2008-02-29 13:01:00 While looking at the stats for PantsInACan.com, I noticed a new blog out there that has me listed in their blogroll. They’re shaping up to be my top referrer this month. I’d never heard of the site, but I’ve been checking it out for the last few weeks. I’m guessing that we’re roughly the same age; ... More About: Rants , Finance , Student , Loans , Student Loans |
