I’m constantly asked how one should pay off debt. It’s extremely hard to answer, because it’s generally based on personal experiences and preferences. That being said, I firmly believe in paying off debt and saving money at the same time. Why? It’s because that’s how I did it and I showed it was possible…
I’m a huge proponent for shopping online. Not only is the process much easier than it used to be, but I don’t have to drive around looking for a store, parking, and dealing with people in the store. Then don’t even get me started on going through checkout. Have you shopped at Walmart lately? I…
I have been selling stuff on Craigslist for some time. In the past few years, I have also offloaded some cars on the free site. The process is simple, but you do have to understand the laws of your particular state. I would continue to buy and sell cars, but after a certain number, I would…
Well, it looks like the sharing party is over my friends. I was gone this past weekend on a little trip and got a comment on one of my most popular articles. It shows you how to share your Amazon Prime shipping benefits with four other family members. Since I wrote it, it has been…

She actually wasn’t planning on working again until the kids were old enough to enter kindergarten, but not everything went according to their plan….
It’s here my financial friends. The ultimate throwdown! Today, we pit two of the best financial tools against each other to see who comes out on top. That’s right, we are going to compare Mint.com and Personal Capital to see which free tool is better! I got this idea back when someone basically asked me: “Mint.com…
On August 1st, 2015, Amazon changed the way they allow you to share your Amazon Prime account. You are no longer able to share with people outside of your household, unless you want to provide them with direct access to use your credit card associated with your Prime account. You can learn more from our…
I have a confession my friends. It’s not something I’m really happy about, but the truth hurts sometimes. I have a problem and I’m working hard to fix it. I’m a hoarder, everyone. Yes, that’s right, I hoard, but not things, just money! I’m a money hoarder and I’m working to change it. While it…
It has been some time since I wrote my final goodbye to Verizon. I left Verizon back a few years ago and then finally was able to get my wife to switch. Coverage was great, but the price was outrageous. Either way, I had been looking for a new service provider for some time and there were…
As most of you know, we moved into our current home last June. We have a nice sized yard and a really nice neighborhood. What we don’t have is a house that was move in ready. Well, it was, but we wanted to change many things. It’s been months and we still have too many…
