We are coming back today from our week in Chicago so hopefully the site will get a little busier next weekend. Thanks for your patience!
Money isn’t everything but it sure keeps you in touch with your children. – J. Paul Getty
Oh, and speaking of keeping in touch, we will be away until next weekend at a wedding and visiting some family. I have some posts scheduled for next week, but not as many as usual. Thanks for [...]
For this Friday, I present a sign of how you would know God exists:
“If God only gave me a clear sign; like making a large deposit in my name at a swiss bank.” – Woody Allen.
Surely that would not be a bad way of finding out, no? Have a great weekend everyone!
If you are reading this, it means we are on our way to a wedding, which probably means watching 2 people spend a lot of money on a few hours of partying. Either way, we plan on having a great time with a few days away from the house, and I wanted to leave you [...]
Ain’t this the truth:
No matter how rich you become, how famous or powerful, when you die the size of your funeral will still pretty much depend on the weather. – Michael Pritchard

For those of you nervous about getting started investing in the stock market, keep this quote from Mark Twain in mind:

In reality, there is [...]
For those of you living way above your means, you might relate to this one:
I’m living so far beyond my income that we may almost be said to be living apart. – E. E. Cummings
If that is you, it is definitely time to re-evaluate. Spend some time this weekend thinking about what is [...]
Oh to ever have these words come out of my mouth…
“I’m not a paranoid deranged millionaire. Goddammit, I’m a billionaire.” – Howard Hughes.
Although I would not trade my sanity for his crazy. Have a great weekend everyone!
Today’s quote really hit me for some reason, in that sometimes we really forget the essence of life…living. Forget money, forget your job, forget your favorite TV show…wasting your time is wasting your life. Sure, we all plop down on the couch and watch TV, or slack on the internet for hours on [...]
This morning at the ATM machine, the guy next to me was on his cell phone talking to one of his buddies. This was what I heard:
“Well, they were offering no money down and no payments till 2010, so we bought the big one. Might as well get the biggest and most expensive plasma [...]
With Friday upon us, it is time yet again for another money quote that speaks volumes in just a few words:

Remember when candy was like 10 cents at the 5 and [...]
I think this says it best:
Wallets are the fabricated items into which we put our fabricated money, which most people believe to be their possession of the realest value. ~T. Guillemets
When you think about it, money is nothing. Scary, huh?
Happy Friday! We are going on vacation all next week, but I have posts [...]
My new uber pricey but very fancy office/task/desk chair showed up 2 days ago and holy moly…what a difference. Just using it for one day has changed my seating position entirely and nothing hurts anymore. Amazing. I will write a little something about it next week. But for now, I offer you this…
Money and [...]
It is an unfortunate human failing that a full pocketbook often groans more loudly than an empty stomach. ~Franklin Delano Roosevelt

Happy Friday.

Happy Friday….
