Saturday, August 5, 2006Rizzo's Interest - (echo post from My Journal because it belongs here)*** I posted this to my journal but it really belongs in my financial blog. *** I had forgotten that I have a credit card that has yearly membership fee. As of today, it would be more appropriate to say that I had a credit card with a yearly fee. Allow me to insert a story here about credit cards....

We went looking at houses and she explained what each house had that was going to be in our next house. I started to understand what she was picturing. It took me quite a while to do it but I finally had... Sign in to see full entry.Thursday, July 20, 2006Back to square oneI read an article today about spending habits in the United Kingdom. It was about the fact that people don't know where their money goes. People spend money and by the end of the week, they don't know where a great deal of the money went. How much is a great deal? Over a year, the amount that is... Sign in to see full entry.Monday, July 10, 2006Visualizing a new houseLast time I was going to buy a new house, I started a blog about it. Within a couple of months, we had our house. It was odd how it all went down. Very odd. It was verification on the power of visualization. I'm going to try to invoke that power again. I'm not going to start a new blog for it this... Sign in to see full entry.Saturday, July 8, 2006Becoming Someone NewI think that's the true power behind this plan we have come up with. We are changing our thinking, our actions, and our habits. When the plan is completed, if you can actually say that it will be completed, we will be different people from when we started. Another aspect about the plan that will... Sign in to see full entry.Friday, July 7, 2006A quick recap for myselfIt's been a while since I listed out the steps for our plan. It seems like nothing is happening lately even though that isn't true. 1. Know where you are. I think the reason I feel like nothing is happening is that events have conspired so that my wife and I have not had our weekly meeting for the...

My wife and I have a weekly meeting where we discuss our finances and create a weekly to-do list. We also talk about the previous week and the upcoming week. We don't keep the discussion contained to just...

All the steps work together. Maybe it's better to say that we have done well with the first three steps and so they aren't at the forefront of our brain anymore. We are putting our effort into...

Things are going great still but we missed our last weekly meeting because we had company from out of town. My wife has taken a part-time job and is teaching summer school and we are both taking summer college classes. That means that if we miss our brief...

The fact that I get to include "my wife and I" in several posts is because when we do get a chance to be together, we use the time to discuss what's going on and what we're going to do. This is the price that... Sign in to see full entry. |
