The credit card interest rate scammers have been calling me about once a month for the last few months. I’ve been trying figure out what their angle is and each time they call I get a little more information out of them.
They’ve simplified their inital automated call. Now instead of talking about President Obama and [...]

Stock Market Performance: Any Cause To Rejoice?

I didn’t even get a chance to write about the Car Allowance Rebate System (better known as Cash for Clunkers) before the program before news came out last night that today may be the last day of the program. While the program was supposed to run until Nov. 1st, the 1 billion in funding [...]

It’s not a secret that entry level salaries aren’t the greatest paying, but college graduates still need to survive and somewhat enjoy their lives. This is why I really wanted to write about how college graduates can stretch their entry level salary as much as possible. Don’t worry because today I [...]

Where did July go? Oh well, I can’t complain about August getting here quickly because that means football is right around the corner! Some of my fantasy leagues are already taking shape and by the end of the month it will be draft day. The kickoff to football season, both college and pro, is one [...]

I asked my twitter followers to send some of their best personal finance articles for the week, below is what they came back with:
While Kathryn wrote about different ways to reduce debt, No Credit Needed had a similar article about his debt reduction mindset.
Michael James on Money asks why company pensions are at risk.
Five Cent [...]
I recently attended a birthday for one of my kids’ friends, and was blown away by the amount of cash gifts they received. Apparently, giving cash is cool again, and I was impressed by the generosity from mostly family members, but a few family friends, too.
My kids occasionally receive a little birthday money themselves, along [...]
My close call with death last week instantly had me thinking… is my family ready in case I bite the big one? (By the way, I never understood that expression – what are you biting exactly?) I have a small family just my wife and Jake, our dog. My wife earns a [...]

You might be waiting in vain for yet another stimulus check from the government. Well, if the recession is getting you down, maybe we can offer a financial lift for one lucky reader out there.

As if financing the purchase of a rapidly depreciating asset isn’t bad enough, financing it for an extended period of time is even worse. Financing the purchase of a car or truck for more than 5 years just so you can afford the payments is not a wise financial move, regardless of how bad you [...]

I’m always on the the search for the best coupon code sites. They make shopping online easier and cheaper than running out to the store.
Last week we were looking for a new set of Thule racks for my car. We realized that with three kiddos, we’re going to need to put a rocket box on top for vacation next month.
We ended up ordering Inno racks from ORS Racks Direct, using the 10% off code extra10 that I found at Retail Me Not. Inno is the Japanese equivalent of Thule, at a fraction of the cost.
Here are some of my favorite coupon code sites. I’m always on the lookout for more. Which coupon code sites do you use?

The costs of selling a house may not make or break your decision to sell whether you’re relocating, trading up, or buying a smaller home. However, the costs can run into the thousands of dollars so they’re something you don’t want to overlook. The first thing you need to consider if you are thinking about [...]

Welcome to the Million Dollar Journey July 2009 Net Worth Update – The Home Expenses Edition
Houses are expensive! With summer in full force, I have been diving into the “honey do list.” Thus far, we have installed a fence and organized the garage. Other items on the list include creating a front garden for curb [...]
My friends in the northwest tell me it’s been hot lately, and just today I read where Seattle broke a record temperature set back in 1941. Forgive me for not having much sympathy, as temperatures in the south hover in the high 90’s (and higher) from the end of May to early September. Of course, [...]
If you’re like me, money is constantly at the back of your mind. Most everything you do during the day is somehow tied to money; you’re earning it, spending it, saving it, etc. I guess that’s why money and money related topics make an appearance in so many songs. Here are some “money tunes” for [...]

I bought my first stock nearly 8 years ago with Scottrade, which is also my first stock broker, in 2002 and one that I have been actively using since then. Throughout these years, as more and more online discount brokers emerged, I have also got accounts with other brokerage firms in order to reduce trading [...]

I think it’s funny how just a few months ago the media was still talking about how we’re on the brink of the next great depression and we’re setting the stage for the equivalent of an economic apocalypse, but fast-forward to today and all the news is glowing and painting a rosy picture. It’s amazing [...]

I’m having fun digging through the archives from last summer. It’s always great to see what was on our minds, and what happened in our lives.
Want to do the same? If you keep a lot of email, take a glance at some of the emails from last July… I’ll be curious to hear what you find!

I spend a lot of time working on business process re-engineering (famously promoted in Keith Ferrazi’s “Never Eat Alone,” a great book), or business process management, or whatever you want to call it these days. If you aren’t familiar with it, I’ll define it this way: you take a company organized along function lines – [...]
Miya wrote me an email about her financial situation and was looking for an opinion.
I am a big fan of Million Dollar Journey and I learned a lot from here. I realized that if you don’t manage money, the money will manage you. Although I understand the fundamentals about finance management (I think I [...]
