I love dabbling in music and really enjoy doing some amateur DJ’ing with my friends. I was thrilled to see that Virtual DJ now has a free home version for those of us that aren’t trying to make a living DJ’ing. This software gives me the tools to make the music sound great and gives me control over how it’s played. I used to use

I realized a long time ago that the various types of media companies out there really weren’t very good at helping me be financially successful. It seemed that each article I read contradicted the previous article and you could pretty much find any article to tell you anything you wanted to hear. I guess it was a long slow process that I lost confidence in
Check out this article. Bank of America is raising their checking account fee to $12 a month unless you have direct deposit set up with a minimum deposit of $250. If that won’t work for you, you can keep a minimum of at least $1500 in your account for every day of the month (which you’ll get very little interest on). My favorite part of
NBC has an article about whether those technology buy back programs that companies like Best Buy offer are worth it. My opinion is that they are not. As the article points out, the terms are clearly stacked in their favor and you have to jump through a number of hoops to be successful.

Am I the only one that finds the latest HTC smart phones very sexy? Just one more thing that can cause us to part with our money! I better just stick to my Iphone and blow my money on the monthly service charges: http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/15/htc-sensation-versus-the-rest-of-the-dual-core-world-smartphone/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+weblogsinc%2Fengadget+%28Engadget%29
Oh, you have to read this. Patrick Rodgers wasn’t getting any response from Wells Fargo when they told him he must jack up his insurance to $1 million on a house he originally paid $180K for. The premiums were unaffordable and Patrick wanted to work with the bank to come to an agreement. I won’t repeat the whole story because the Consumerist did a great
Here’s an article that’s all over the news in Washington right now. Washington state is considering creating prize incentives for people to save money. Apparently Michigan has been trying this for the last couple years and now other states are starting to take notice. As much of a gimmick as this seems to be, I like it. There really are no losers in this in
You know how I love to look at lottery winners. Statistically, they don’t stand much of a chance of holding on to the cash when they win. Many, many lottery winners end up losing it all. It’s not hard to explain, really. Managing your money isn’t easy. Most people don’t get the idea of money making money for you. In my case, if I won,
