Although how much money I make doesn’t really matter to me as long as I am comfortable, I do find it interesting to read about where people who earn the most money live. One might immediately think of New York City or Los Angeles as being the high-wage places, but families seem to be [...]
Let’s see…I have not cashed in a single reward point from MyPoints since the beginning of 2007, when I cashed in 7,000 points for a $50 gift certificate for Hyatt Hotels. Since that time, I have accumulated an account balance of over 15,000 points just by clicking inside emails I get every day. [...]

For those of you that think that there is nothing in your house worth selling to make some extra cash, believe me, there is. In the last week we have made $265 selling random stuff on Craigslist, and every penny of it is going right into our home buying fund. OK it’s not [...]
People think of EVERYTHING…these people sell the tumbleweeds you see by the side of the road while driving through the midwest. They are selling large ones for $25, medium ones for $20, and small ones for $15, plus shipping. Linda Katz, the owner of the business, says she’s making about 30 tumbleweed sales [...]

How many of you wake up in the morning and absolutely hate the job that you have? How many of you figure that this is just the way it is and that’s that and suck it up? I am willing to bet that it is a lot of you, if the general consensus [...]
The eighth installment of “Favorite Blog Wednesday” brings us to Money, Matter, and More Musings. Like the title? I do. I like the tag line even more – “Personal Finance Doesn’t Need To Be Boring”…and ain’t that the truth.
Money, Matter and More Musings covers a lot of ground on the site, and [...]
