One of the most important things in life is to always keep learning. If you aren't learning, you aren't living as far as I'm concerned. There are four things that I want to learn right now. They are: Become Fluent in Spanish Learn to Ballroom Dance Be a Good Golfer Learn to Play Piano I want to learn all of these things so badly and so quickly that I've been trying to learn all of them at once. I took a semester of Spanish 2 last spring, and for a time was planning to go to Costa Rica to learn Spanish.(which actually didn't happen). I bought a Groupon for a free month of dan

What do you get when you cross a large German man with an itty bitty Midwestern girl? A great month for me in the Race to $1 Million, that's for sure. The Hoff spent much of the month of July in Hawaii wooing his girlfriend into marrying him. That's right, The Hoff is engaged. Luckily for me and our race, his elaborate ploy to tricking this poor, unsuspecting girl into marrying him is the reason his net worth has been tanking the past few months. And this month was the worst of it. I caught up $6,399 since last month. And I thought Tag was expensive! Getting Engaged Can Brea

You need money. Maybe it's been over 100 degrees in your town for 36 straight days (like it has been in Dallas) and your electric bill is $200 larger than normal. Maybe you got in a car accident because nobody knows how to drive in your city (like all the people in Dallas). Maybe you got home last night and your Chihuahua was gone, and in his cage you found a note reading, "If you ever want to see Petey Pablo again, bring $200 to the shaved ice stand on Maple and Elm." For whatever reason, let's pretend you need $200 in cash. And you need it as soon as possible. If you don't have an e

If you were paying very close attention to the news earlier this week, you might have heard some medical news. Oh no Kevin! Not another post about health care. Your last one didn't go too well... Well don't worry, because this isn't a health care post. It's an economics post that just happens to be about a health care product. Specifically birth control. Starting in August of next year, anyone with medical insurance will be able to get "free" birth control. Well isn't America great! Through the magic of our delightful president, we don't have to pay for something that used to cost us

Today I updated my monthly budget and net worth. I do it every month to prepare for the Race to $1 Million. Which, by the way, will be postponed this month. The Hoff is off wasting his time with some stupid vacation. He might have mentioned something about an engagement, but I wasn't really listening. Anyway, one of the accounts I look at every month is my Best Buy Credit Card. I bought my TV and computer on the card and have 0% financing for 36 months. Sure, I could pay off the entire balance, but borrowing money at 0% gives me the opportunity to use my money elsewhere and get a better ret

I had a rather unpleasant email from one of my student loan providers, MOHELA, in my inbox when I woke up this morning. We have not heard from you to assist in resolving your account status, and your account remains past due. Wow. That's news to me. Considering the fact that my student loan account is set up for automatic payment every month, I was a little shocked to hear that I was past due. I checked my account and they had levied a monstrous $2.62 late fee onto my account. I guess they were punishing me for not reminding them to pull the automatic payment I signed up for years ago

A few weeks ago, I made my readers a promise. If you will tolerate a little bit of advertising, I will pay you back by giving away at least 50% of the profit I make on this site through the end of this year. I'm here to make good on my promise. I brought in just under $450 in net profit last month, so today I'm giving away 225 buckaroos. I prefer to award the prize in the form of an Amazon gift card because I love Amazon and it's really easy to send the money that way. I only need your email address and not a physical mailing address. Let's be honest, do you really want me to know whe

The following is a post on behalf of Choice Personal Loans Are you looking for a little cash? Thinking about applying for a personal loan? Before you submit an application, there are a few things you should do to ensure that not only you achieve approval, but also obtain the most optimal interest rates and desired borrowing amount. Shop Around One of the wisest things you can do is to do your due diligence and research several different lenders.
