It's fun to look at. ;) Mon, 25 Nov 2013 18:23:19 +0000 http://www.nickelbynickel.com/2013/11/gold-mutual-funds-101-how-this-precious-commodity-can-bolster-your-portfolio/#IDComment756628407 http://www.nickelbynickel.com/2013/10/saving-for-retirement-and-other-things-the-10-rule-revisited-and-a-plan-for-the-rest-of-2013/#IDComment750843761 thanks SB, had a good time :) Fri, 15 Nov 2013 23:26:18 +0000 http://www.nickelbynickel.com/2013/10/saving-for-retirement-and-other-things-the-10-rule-revisited-and-a-plan-for-the-rest-of-2013/#IDComment750843761 http://www.nickelbynickel.com/2013/10/saving-for-retirement-and-other-things-the-10-rule-revisited-and-a-plan-for-the-rest-of-2013/#IDComment750843493 Thanks, you know, I didn't even notice the first contribution coming out because it popped up in my budget, i cleared the transaction and thought nothing of it until I went back and realized, oh hey! That went to my RSP! I love the TFSA, I plan to stick with that the the RSP for now. Stocks again in the future :) Good luck on your spaceadventures haha Fri, 15 Nov 2013 23:26:01 +0000 http://www.nickelbynickel.com/2013/10/saving-for-retirement-and-other-things-the-10-rule-revisited-and-a-plan-for-the-rest-of-2013/#IDComment750843493 http://www.nickelbynickel.com/2013/08/up-up-and-away/#IDComment708417558 thanks :) Tue, 27 Aug 2013 02:02:16 +0000 http://www.nickelbynickel.com/2013/08/up-up-and-away/#IDComment708417558 http://www.nickelbynickel.com/2013/06/how-to-make-fresh-dog-food-or-what-i-call-dog-slop/#IDComment663299518 Yes it's not cheap but yeah.... worth every penny. Until i adopted this guy I knew I liked animals but I never truly understood that dog-love thing. I get it now.

Now that i've done it... it takes no effort, it's cheaper, it's GOOD for him, and he seems superhappy. Guess I'm nuts too ;) (I've also noticed his hair has become really soft and he glows more than he did before) Tue, 18 Jun 2013 04:30:39 +0000 http://www.nickelbynickel.com/2013/06/how-to-make-fresh-dog-food-or-what-i-call-dog-slop/#IDComment663299006 http://www.nickelbynickel.com/2013/06/how-to-make-fresh-dog-food-or-what-i-call-dog-slop/#IDComment663298185 If you find it please let me know! When I went through obedience training I went through so many treats and they're so expensive to buy. I've had the fleeting thought of attempting it myself but never gave it more thought. I definitely will now!

So many things in walking distance, things to see and do and eat and just experience. Lovely city :) Sat, 1 Jun 2013 11:50:29 +0000 http://www.nickelbynickel.com/2013/05/nyc-baby-part-1/#IDComment653847919 http://www.nickelbynickel.com/2013/05/nyc-baby-part-1/#IDComment653847732 Hmmmm, I looked at Airbnb and tried to search for it but it seems to have been unlisted? Anyway, we stayed in Union City, NJ. The busline to the NYC Port Authority was about a stonesthrow from the appartment and off-peak usually took about 10Minutes... then you can either start walking through manhattan or take the subway wherever you want to go! We paid $619.71 for 5 nights, the AirBNB service fee was $66.00. We had two actual beds and one pullout futon so after we split the cost in three it wasn't bad at all! There are lots of listings and tons of reviews, it's a great way to go! :) Sat, 1 Jun 2013 11:49:59 +0000 http://www.nickelbynickel.com/2013/05/nyc-baby-part-1/#IDComment653847732 http://www.nickelbynickel.com/2013/03/carnival-of-money-pros/#IDComment599816864 I know huh, massive indeed!

Once I got it down to zero I paused for a while, then moved about $3,000 from the HELOC to my mortgage because the HELOC has a lower interest rate, the remaining $17k and change has all been sunk into the house. Makes me cry that I went from $50k debt back up to almost $70k but on the upside I now have estimates for re-sale of anywhere from $100k to $125k. I plan to sell within the next two years so trying to save for these projects and pay all cash wasn't really an option.

It's entirely house. (didn't want to make that stupid mistake again so I just wrote cheques to contractors from the HELOC) Fri, 7 Dec 2012 20:44:05 +0000 http://www.nickelbynickel.com/2012/11/networth-november-2012/#IDComment513095020 http://www.nickelbynickel.com/2012/11/networth-october-2012/#IDComment491735403 Hmmm, it depends on how said million will be obtained... I think? And if any of my friends/family ever start reading along, I might feel more inhibited then.

Thanks :) Fri, 16 Nov 2012 03:16:37 +0000 http://www.nickelbynickel.com/2012/11/networth-october-2012/#IDComment491734638 http://www.nickelbynickel.com/2012/10/airing-things-out-with-a-new-screen-door/#IDComment476071929 It's like an avalanche... once you start looking at fixing one thing it's like you're incapable of not noticing everything else that needs fixing. I'd start with the balcony door though, seems that draft there is probably causing more trouble than the one in your entry?
