Free Pancakes at IHOP Today
Another week, another free breakfast. IHOP is giving away a short stack of pancakes today from 7 am to 10 pm. There probably won’t be quite the lines that there were for the Denny’s giveaway, but you don’t get as much food either. http://www.ihoppancakeday.com/pancake-day-details.html
Getting UK Citizenship for Our Daughter May Have Financial Implications
My wife, Kate, was born in England and moved here when she was five with her parents. She became a US citizen many years later and now has dual citizenship in the US and in the UK. It never occurred to me that there could be any benefit to having citizenship in two countries until [...]

Initial Look at Our Taxes
I finally blocked out a bit of time to take an early look at our taxes now that all of our W2′s and 1099′s have arrived. I haven’t bought the 2009 Turbotax software yet so I decided to just quickly punch all the numbers in to the Turbotax website with bogus personal information. With both [...]

It’s Been Over Four Years Since I started ELYM
I didn’t mention it in January, but this marks the fourth year that I’ve been blogging on Everybody Loves Your Money. It’s amazing how far the personal finance blogging world has come since I started. I remember back when there was a much smaller number of personal finance blogs. Now, I have trouble keeping up [...]
The Best Things in Life are Free
Today was one of those days that you remember for the rest of your life and I didn’t spend a nickel all day. Up here in the Pacific Northwest the weather has been a little abnormal. By that I mean that it snowed. It has been cold for a week and we even saw temperatures [...]
Cheap Entertainment at Our Local School
