Hundredaires in the Making
I love stumbling on to a good blog. I especially like blogs that put a sense of humor on an otherwise fairly mundane subject matter. Over at Adventure Money, Steve has put together a great blog post that spoofs the “Millionaires in the Making” series over at CNNMoney. I love the Millionaires series so I particularly enjoyed Steve’s spoof. Go check it out. I think
Breaking News – Britney Divorcing KFED
It’s a sad state of affairs when our national news organizations give so much coverage to a single wide living, uneducated, overhyped, talentless pop singer like Britney Spears during the national elections.

This is a brief article that points out that ATM fees and bounced check fees continue to rise. The average charge for using an ATM that you don’t hold an account at is $1.64. For those people who get charged by their own bank as well, it could put you over $3 to get your own money out
