Have you ever wanted to know how the car dealers spin their web? It’s no secret that going to a car dealer to buy a car is not exactly everyone’s favorite activity. Car dealers use many techniques to put you in a car with the cards stacked in their favor. Many people end up paying far too much for their vehicle because they don’t know
Keeping Up With the Steins
Here’s a link to the movie trailer for “Keeping Up With the Steins”. I think my favorite quote in the trailer is, “It’s not how much money you have…… It’s how much money you spend”. http://www.apple.com/trailers/miramax/keepingupwiththesteins/trailer/
Eating at a Restaurant (Post from Fatwallet)
I saw this post on Fatwallet. The poster tends to make the point that people are eating out based on any sort of economic consideration. Check out the original post to see some of the other responses. Here’s the initial post: ———- “I’m surprised that, on a site devoted to financial prudence, more people haven’t savaged the notion that it is consistent with the ideals
Canadian Millionaires Know How to Party!
If I ever have ridiculous sums of money, I think you’ll find me on a tour like this:
Large Financial Decision Ahead
My wife and I have been talking and she is considering a career change when she goes back to work. She has been staying at home with our daughter for almost 3 years, but we know that we want her to go back to work at some point. (not that what she’s been doing at home hasn’t been work). She currently has two bachelors degree.Â
Pulled the Trigger. Bought the Truck!
I have a confession to make. You know all that talk a couple months ago about being tempted to buy a new truck? Well, it happened. I bought a 2006 Toyota Tacoma with pretty much every option you could get on it. It’s amazing and I have to say, I’m not having any post buying regret. I wrote a check for the entire purchase. It
What a Great Dinner Tonight
About a year and a half ago, my wife and I decided to REALLY splurge and went out to dinner at the Keg restaurant near our home. The Keg has outstanding steaks and the service is great. While we were there, we noticed that they had a birthday club card to fill out. It turns out that if you fill out the card, they send
Tivo Off their Rocker
Well, I just read that Tivo is changing their pricing structure. This furthers my speculation that Tivo is a dying company. I’ve got Tivo. If you recall, I got my 140 hour Tivo for free. All I had to do was pay the first years subscription. Any way you slice it, this was a good deal. I fully plan to either get them to lower
It’s all About Moderation
I can’t help but draw a comparison between good financial decisions and good eating habits. I’m not sure which is more important. I’d have to lean towards good eating habits simply because money isn’t too valuable if you are dead. (I suppose your heirs might beg to differ with you, but you get the point) Anyway, last weekend was brutal for my goal of eating
Uh Oh. We’ve Got Three Spenders in the House
Well, I suppose it had to happen sooner or later. My daughter has started spending money. Why is this such a significant event at our house? She’s only 2 and a half years old. Let me explain. We have been letting her use the computer a little bit. We’ve got one of those “notebook mice” (which basically means it’s a miniature version of a standard
