Personal Finance, Writing, and Blogging
Posted in Uncategorized on Apr 30th, 2008
The Money Hacks Carnival is up and running over at Money Hacks. My post, Someone Else’s Money, was featured as an Editor’s Pick so I’m really excited about that.
It was a post that I wrote from the heart and even though it’s a little personal I decided to go ahead and publish it. I’m glad […]

Brip Blap has a great series going on right now about the best financial decisions he ever made in college. I really don’t know what financial move (if any) I made in college besides opening a credit card and never really using it. I always paid my balance in full when I did and thus […]

I’ve written before about how to get your work out of the slush pile and into the literary magazines that are out there, but the current Poets & Writers has a whole bunch of great tips that apply to writers of all stripes and so I figured I would pass on the knowledge. Let me […]

I was recently included in the Carnival of Personal Finance hosted over at Lazy Man and Money. The article of mine that was included was a piece I wrote on the similarities between financial statements and baseball statistics. Lazy and I will have a discussion on how important certain stats are, but that’s for another […]

I hate doing entire posts dedicated to simply putting up links to other stuff on the web, but recently I’ve found a bunch of really good stuff to read and I wanted to share them with you, so here you go:
This guy Hates Bloggers: It’s all in jest, of course, but he brings up some […]

So I’ve had a bit of a tough run lately when it comes to books, so I’m happy to report that my current read, Interpreter of Maladies, is going great. So far I’ve read about four of the short stories and two of them have been fantastic. The title story was very good, and “A […]

Trent over at The Simple Dollar has a great exercise in one of his posts for everyone out there that has a traditional job. He puts his readers in a hypothetical situation: pretend you will be fired on Friday (it came out on Saturday so you’d have the whole week to think about it). What […]

On Monday I admitted to the world that I’m a really nostalgic person and began a brief (or maybe not so brief since this is part 2) look back at how far I’ve come over the past few years. I left off in October 2006 after having worked out every for a month and then […]
So I went to the ATM the other day to deposit a check and as the machine is supposed to spit out my receipt, a small piece of paper is slowly squeezed out. I’m confused until I pull it out—it’s the person who was here before me’s receipt. The machine maybe malfunctioned or something so […]
Posted in Happiness, Outside the box on Apr 21st, 2008
I’ve been reading a lot of posts on other blogs recently (Get Rich Slowly, Brip Blap, Frugal Dad, Lazy Man and Money) that I really enjoy and after a little analysis I figured out why: they were personal stories about the writers that gave a neat “intro” about something that happened to them that has […]
