If you need a camera, I’d highly recommend trying to grab one of these before they are all gone. Even at $99, it’s a steal. This camera (Sony DSC-S40) takes 4.1 megapixel images and also takes very decent 640X480 mpeg videos with sound. It holds the Memory stick style sticks, which Costco sells every now and then for about $35 for a 512 meg stick.
Random Thoughts
Can I tell you a secret? Money management is kind of boring once you put a lot of things on autopilot. I know that automatically investing in my ROTH, and automatically investing in my 401k is the right thing to do but it just isn’t sexy. The money just goes in every two weeks and automatically buys a couple index funds. No adrenaline. No euphoria.

Leg Insurance
Okay, maybe I need to quit thinking about earthquake insurance, and start thinking about my legs. I may be WAAAAAAAAY underinsured in the leg department. What the heck am I talking about? Check the link: http://www.ktvotv3.com/Global/story.asp?S=4385224&nav=1LFs
Soldiers Back from Iraq Spend, Spend, Spend
I have nothing but respect for the soldiers who have been over in Iraq. It’s not important whether I believe they should or shouldn’t have been sent there. They got the call and they served their country. I just wish, instead of reading the below article, I had read an article that said, “Soldiers back from Iraq, save, save, save. Of course, that article doesn’t
TurboTax at Costco for $18.99 (Last two days)
I’m a Turbotax user. I have been for at least 5 years. Yes, I stayed with them during their whole “spyware program” episode a couple years ago. I was mad at them, but I just uninstalled everything after I was done with my taxes. I think they’ve learned their lesson on that. Anyway, Costco has Turbotax Deluxe (which works for most people unless you have
Leaving $1.1 Million to National Debt
Wow. Amazing. Uhh what the heck? I can’t believe it. So, this lady right here, left her entire $1.1 million estate to the national debt. No surprise I don’t agree with her. That must be somewhere around the equivalent of less than .01 cents towards our debt. It is so completely dilluted that it seems like it would have been put to better use if
Earthquake Insurance
You know, I’ve got a lot of insurance. I’ve got auto insurance, homeowners insurance and life insurance. While that seems like a lot of insurance, I don’t have earthquake insurance. For those of you living in the midwest, you probably are saying to yourself, “yeah, so what”. Well, as much as I’d like to say that too, I have to face the fact that we
