Living for today - Planning for Tomorrow
Wow. I like to read some message boards that cover some of the things I own. I’ve found a few good tips about my truck and about my old Seadoo. (in fact, it’s saved me a ton of money because I was able to find the information I needed to repair my Seadoo myself). Anyway, I happened to run across this post. It’s a guy
There is no question that my weakness in life has been automobiles. I just love them. There is also no question that nothing has had a higher impact on my net worth. Due to the crazy housing market, there is no question that my house has helped me increase my net worth significantly. Sure, there have been expenses to deal with, but I’ve still seen
This guy in England didn’t want to spend the money on brake fluid for his car so he decided to just fill the brake reservoir with vegetable oil. He had already rolled up an old carpet and used it as his front bumper. Â
Just when I thought I was getting ripped off spending $45 per month on cable, I find out that there are a few more expensive plans out there. For example, take the new Titanium service from DirectTV.

I know I’ve mentioned it before but I’ve always been interested in how marketing affects each of us. Billions and billions of dollars are spent every year to either directly sell to us, or to figure out what we want and what a company needs to do to get us to act. I’ve been compiling a list of slogans that I remember, either as a
I recently started running at the health club again. I had let my membership lapse since the club had been ratcheting up my yearly dues and I was a little annoyed about it. From a health perspective, I should have sucked it up and kept paying so that I could continue to use the gym. Well, I didn’t. I got a mailing from the club
