Thinking about making 2009 your “start-over” year and making your finances a priority? If so, I think it is one of the most important moves you can make. Sure, joining a gym and getting organized are usually top choices for New Year’s Resolutions, but tending to your financial plans should be a top choice [...]
Happy Holidays to all you guys who make writing this site such a joy. Hope you have a fantastic day!
Well, we are in Boston now where we will be for the next 10 days or so. It’s been about 1.5 years since I was home, and it’s nice to finally be back. I really should go more often! Posting will be lighter than usual while I am home, but things will still move [...]
Our new house is a passive solar house, meaning that it has the correct southern orientation during the winter that the sun beams in through the giant windows to heat the place during the day. We have huge windows all along the front of the house, so the sun comes in, hits the concrete [...]
We just became official adults – we bought our own washer and dryer set. Somehow in my 36 years of life I have escaped having to buy my own units, as everywhere I have ever lived either had A. a laundry room or B. units already installed. Since I knew when I signed the [...]
Think you cannot save any money? Think putting away $100 a month into a savings account or towards paying off some credit card is impossible? If so, you would be wrong, as there are ways that anyone and everyone could save something – you just have to think a little creatively and [...]
Right about now I am lugging a giant box from one house to another in the freezing cold snow. Don’t you love moving? Me neither. It had been 60 degrees for weeks on end and now this…ugh. So I will keep this short – check out these articles I found to be [...]
Remember – if you have your health, a roof over your head, and food in your stomach, you are way ahead of millions of other people. Now THAT is something to be thankful for. I am very thankful for what I have in life and where I am headed, and wish everyone the [...]

It’s moving time at my house again! When we rented this house we are in now, we only did a 6 month lease because A. the owner knew she wanted to list the house for sale in 2009 and B. we figured we would be looking for something to buy. Well, we got [...]
I am curious as to why AT&T would think it was a good idea to raise home phone prices in California when you can get VOIP from dozens of companies, or use Skype for mere pennies, or just use your cell phone for all your calling needs. Does it make much sense to you? I [...]
OK, times are tough – We all know it. Right now, you might be worrying about how to pay for groceries or the gasoline in your car, and we can use all the help you can get to stretch each and every dollar. Luckily, I have a few friends that have plenty of tips [...]
If you listen to some people, you will actually hear many of them tell you to take all of your money out of the market. I overheard it in a coffee shop the other day, my wife and I heard it last night at dinner, and a reader sent me a link to an article [...]
Wish I still lived there at this point in time to get to vote on this. Sure, it was always called “Taxachusetts” and my family always complains about how high the taxes are, but if proponents of this measure have their way, state income tax will no longer be collected in Massachusetts. I am a [...]
Depending on where you live in the country, this winter could be a rough one – especially if you heat your house with oil, which estimates say will cost you twice what it did last year. Ouch. So while it is still nice outside and before the first winter storm strikes, here are [...]
