If you remember last week I said that I was going to give myself a little challenge. I am spending the week doing all that I can to maintain a positive outlook all the time. Having a positive attitude can be hard at times. But so far the results have been pretty great. I have […]
I admit that I have been a bit lax in my retirement planning. I am 29 and I have around $1400 in a rollover IRA and that is pretty much it. I know, it’s pretty irresponsible. I hope to be able to max out a Roth IRA though before tax time is up. Lofty goal, […]
Considering my debt load, I am all about making some free cash. No matter how small of an amount that it is. In fact, I pick up pennies on the ground all the time.
But I came across a link on Picking Up Nickles for a link to open a Capital One High Yield Money Market […]
My post on Getting on the road to financial success made it into the twenty something finances carnival. At 29, I just barely qualify for the carnival
The carnival is being held at My Adventures into the Street. Be sure to check it out for finances from the view of twenty somethings.

Last Wednesday I had the pleasure of having been selected for an individualized assistance program to help me to return to work. I had to attend a three hour orientation and assessment seminar at the county job and family services office.
The most frustrating thing for me about being selected for this was that I am […]
Carnival of Debt Reduction #111 is up today at I’ve Paid Twice for This Already… It is the scary edition, as in what is scarier than debt? I’m going to have to go with “big spiders” being the answer to that question.
The Carnival of Personal Finance is up at Millionaire Mommy Next Door. In keeping […]
Motivation is an interesting thing.
What is interesting about it is that the things that motivate us are different for each of us. For instance, I am motivated to pay off my debt because I don’t like having my hand forced. Meaning - I want to be able to take my money and do what I […]
This morning I had internet access. And a witty post idea for today. Then the universe decided to use a strong wind to knock over a pole across the street from my apartment that had power lines attached to it. At 11 am. Now, a little over six hours later I have power again. Am […]
