Friday, June 8, 2007Tramp Wars and Wrestling Roommates - Part 1No, I'm not talking about a cat fight between Paris Hilton and Britney Spears although this post does have something to do with teenage boys. This could have also been called The Rib Story but like the actual story, it's a boring title. There are two versions to this story and they are completely...

Look no further, the answer is right here but you have to act quickly. This is a limited time offer. If you have a low FICO score, a little bit of cash (or some credit left on your credit cards), and low...

How much progress did we make in the month? Can we do better next month? I track our numbers on a spreadsheet and use networthIQ to see what's happening. You can see the sharp decline at the end of last month and... Sign in to see full entry.Tuesday, June 5, 2007What Many People Don't Understand About CasinosThe odds favor the house. Everyone knows that. The odds only slightly favor the house. Not everyone understands that. There is no luck involved over the long haul. Mathematics and years of experience have decided how the games are set up. A great example of the lack of luck are slot machines. They...

Everyone who commented with their location earned 10 points. Anyone else that wants 10 points can leave a comment in the Sword Point Saturday post. I'll award posts until I publish tomorrow's post.

I like to look at it from different angles. I like to look for trends and patterns. I like to compare from week to week and month to month. The cool thing for my clients is that I do many of the same things for them just because I find it interesting. A little...

Today is Sword Point Saturday and it's an easy one. 10 Sword Points for everyone that tells me the city and state (or country if not in the US) that they are currently calling home. Leave a comment and I'll add you to the Sword Point...

It doesn't hurt to hope but it went pretty much the way we thought it would. Fixing up the yard, paying the taxes on the car, and Trey's birthday took some money away from our debt paying. One thing that we have to take time to realize...

It really can be an eye opener for a lot of people. I hear people say, "I'm pretty good with my money." What I usually find out is that if there is money left over,they are pretty good with...

This month was full of out of the ordinary expenses. They aren't actually out of the ordinary at all but more month specific. We had to spend money for lawncare (and now my lawnmower isn't working), Trey's... Sign in to see full entry. |
