The U.S. government is at it again - giving away more free money with the proposed "Cash for Caulkers" program. Somewhat based off the Cash for Clunkers program, this stimulus would be geared towards homeowners who weatherized their homes - making them more energy efficient. President Obama is supposed to be talking about more of the details in a f […]
A little over a year ago I ventured out into self-employment after spending much of the previous decade in the "Rat Race". For most of that time I was a glorified pencil-pusher in the corporate abyss of a Fortune 500 company. Now that I have spent over a year working for myself I can't imagine doing anything else. For as trapped and held down […]
If you have been around the site a bit you know that I am a fan of the Entertainment Book and have been using it for years. It is a great way to go out to dinner (cheap meals or nice meals) at a nicely discounted price. Since Linda and I really enjoy going out to dinner we have gotten a lot of mileage out of our Entertainment books over the last couple years […]

You are the target audience of this book if you have money to invest, and want to learn what the five signs of financial fraud are so that you can protect your investments from criminals.

Methods may change, but thousands of years ago people were still people dealing with issues just like we do. I [...]
There is a certain mystery associated with the money making potential of a blog. People often incredulously ask, “Can you really make money blogging?” The skeptics claim the only people who make money blogging are people who teach others to make money blogging.
I recently found a site which is basically an online marketplace for charities. The site conveniently allows you to donate to any one of countless causes and charities in your neighborhood or around the world. So if you want your Christmas giving to go to orphans in India, or if you want to donate to help Mothers with AIDS in Africa, or if you want to just g […]
I am currently reading Your Money or Your Life – which is a great book by the way. And I won’t turn this article into a review of the book since I haven’t finished it yet, but one of the things that I found very valuable the other day was calculating your real hourly wage. It’s not as simple as saying, “I make $400 a week and work 40 hours, therefore I make […]
Doesn't it seem like even a check-up and a physical will have your wallet screaming for mercy these days? It doesn't require major surgery and scans to rack up a pile of medical debt in this day and age. At some point or another many of us might even deal with a major health issue that requires exams, scans, check-ups and quite possibly surgery.Hop […]
