I'm starting to notice a theme in my blog. First I talk about how a grilled cheese sandwich can grant wishes. Then I post about my unnatural love affair with provel cheese. And here I am, talking about food again! I love food, but I love my Mom too and I haven't even posted about her once. (sorry Mom, love you) I really need to get this food thing in check. Tomorrow! Because today I want to tell you a story about me and a little thing I like to call "overpriced food that's not even very good and usually has disgusting vegetables in it but my friends like it because it's from another country

If you aren't aware, I'm like Swordfish with an excel spreadsheet. You know, the dude who can hax0r any computer even when he has a gun to his head and only a minute and he's also very distracted (if you've seen the movie you know what I mean). If you've been following me for a while, you probably already know exactly what it takes to make $1 million or any other amount you want thanks to The RC. You also know how to download a nice budget spreadsheet and make it even better. You know I'm all about helping the people, and if your company is anything like mine then you're probably signin

A friend of mine got married this weekend. The best part about the weekend was the fact that all of his friends from out of town came to Dallas and hung out. I got to see a few people I hadn't seen in a while, and I also met some brand new folks. I was sitting at dinner on Friday night at Babe's Chicken, which is absolutely the best fried chicken I've ever had in my life. It's probably the best in the whole world actually. If you don't believe me, you'll just have to come to Texas and try for yourself. So I sat across from a Pennsylvania couple I had never met before and the topic turned

Yesterday was by far the best day in my short blogging career, and I had to do something to say thank you. FB at Fabulously Broke gave me some blog love and sent a bunch of her readers my way. So many, in fact, that I had over four times more visits to my site yesterday than I've ever had before. I know what you're thinking: "How can blog love from one site more than quadruple your historical best view count in a single day? Aren't you the best, most awesomest and famous blogger in the whole world?" Well, actually FB is an amazing blogger and has a pretty big following, while I'm st

I've been trying to stir up discussion in the comments all week, so thank you to all who have responded so far. Here's one more chance at a really interesting money topic. This article shows statistics of millionaires collecting unemployment. It is the perfect illustration of how we don't even pretend the laws of this country are fair. I can't believe millionaires are filing for unemployment and getting hundreds of dollars every week! They should be getting thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars a week.* *Did I trick you? I hope so, because that was my intent. hehe Unempl

Every morning I read a few other blogs because there are some awesome writers out there. These other blogs are entertaining and I have links to some of my favorite sites in my blogroll (the "THOUSANDAIRES" section on the right of your screen) and I was perusing Budgets Are Sexy this morning and I saw this really interesting post about a guy whose house burned down while firemen watched because he didn't pay his annual $75 fire protection fee. The original article is here. J Money was "fired up" about this (he claims there was no pun intended, but we all know better) and couldn't believe

I'm a Gleek. Luckily, I'm not in high school anymore so there's no one to beat me up when I say I like singing and dancing. Although you probably already knew I like that stuff based on this video. (I'm sitting at like 493 views right now. Help me get to 500!) Which reminds me, I'm sure all my loyal fans are on pins and needles waiting for my next music video that parodies Bruno Mars' "Just The Way You Are". I've said too much already, but I'll give you one more nugget; the video should be released sometime next week. I'm such a Gleek (fan of the TV show "Glee" which includes lots of sin

Ask any of my friends to describe me in a few words. Well, you probably don't know any of my friends, so I'll tell you what they'd say after they were done talking about how I'm so good looking, intelligent and humble. I'm cheap. I'm a miser. Penny pincher. Tightwad. You get the point. I usually take these adjectives as a compliment. Saving money is awesome; especially when I'm saving to put it towards my retirement or something new and fancy from Best Buy. The only problem is, sometimes I get so obsessed over saving money that I do things that would immediately qualify me for a non-sto

Before I start with my usual craziness, I need you to identify yourself as one of two kinds of people: those who know about Roth IRAs, and those who don't. If you already know about Roth IRAs and maybe even have one yourself, think about how awesome it is. Now think about how awesome it would be if all your friends knew about it too. Give some extra thought to the young people you know who can take advantage of about 40+ years of compound interest in a Roth. Now be a good friend and send this video to them! This video is for them! You can use the tweet button to your right, or better yet, just

My blog is still in its infancy. In fact, just yesterday I finally activated my new domain name, so this is actually the inaugural post for Thousandaire.com! (without the dash) Don't be fooled by my impressive website and insane writing skillzzzz; I'm still just a baby! This site has been up for a few months, but I've been doing behind the scenes work and only got serious about posting content in the last 2-3 weeks. Thanks to some advice from the Debt Ninja, J Money, and Money Help For Christians, I realized that the best way to attract readers is to be active in the community. If you're re
