Well-Heeled, With a Mission : We Saved $2,000 On Our Honeymoon Airfare

Tue, 4 Oct 2011 15:36:32 +0000

I just used my points a couple months ago (for the first time) to get a flight to Atlanta (leaving in 2 weeks). I LOVE IT! I have never used points before but since using them for that I am hooked on using my card for EVERYTHING.

Frugal Beautiful : Should Debt Be A Deal Breaker?

Mon, 26 Sep 2011 19:35:46 +0000

Haven't been reading your blog long enough to know if you are a catch or not (if I am going on looks alone I think you will make someone really happy one day...how is that for being superficial but keeping it clean?), but I think putting up that kind of road block may be just an artificial way to eliminate guys before giving them a chance. How could you possibly know about that world inside 3 dates or 3 months? Maybe he is a spendthrift because he has a HUGE trustfund OR maybe he is a spendthrift because he makes a couple hundred grand a year? I can see being 6 months into a relationship and learning of the CC debt, but it really would be hard at first. I am positive if a girl asked me about my 401(k) 4 months deep I'd be running for the door assuming it is the opposite and SHE IS THE GOLD DIGGER!

Good luck! I haven't lifted seriously since I was in college (I am 29 now)...I just started reading 4 hour body and it is fantastic...also check out C25K a cool running program (only 1.99 at the app store so it isn't breaking your rules). Looking for to fall team 5!

Well-Heeled, With a Mission : How Far Would You Go to Cut Your Housing Costs?

Mon, 12 Sep 2011 20:55:38 +0000

Interesting question! A few years ago I think I would have taken on a roommate (have a kid now), WIFE IN NO WAY WOULD HAVE DONE THIS...but on the same token I live in one of the most expensive parts of the country (about 35 mins outside of NYC - north shore nassau county LI) and she would move in a second, but I won't lol

I agree with Jacob that it should be based on an individual situation. While I save a good portion of my income (liquid savings accounts, non-qualified investment portfolio and retirement) most of my saving is into liquid accounts for a future home.

added a rider to my homeowner's insurance. It isn't cheap but considering that the Wife's hand is worth more than my car it is worth it.

I have not read any Friedman but I remember love my economics undergrad classes. I actually almost didn't graduate on time because I took too many economics classes and not liberal arts lol (BS Business Economics). Ever let Mr. Kraft know how he shaped your life? You would LOVE my recent post lol My recent post My First Experience With Being an Entrepreneur

Just because you write a personal finance blog doesn't mean you can't let some of your stronger beliefs (those that not everyone might agree with) shine through?

If you'd like to feel better remember that Soto is replacing a fellow liberal and not one of the "5".

Dan I couldn't agree more with you! All I want is to be treated equal, as should everyone else. Notwithstanding, the term is indicitive of the majority being attacked.

The best of the best should be leading the real men who are saving my ass from a burning building, as I cowardly cry in the corner. I know some of the questions (only because of my brother) and they have to do with burning times and combustion of materials, and I couldn't imagine a leader who doesn't know that info, who just got the job because of skin color! Its nuts.
