What to Consider When You’re Thinking About Moving + MORE

I graduated from college in 2005 with a degree in Political Science. A newly minted graduate, I was excited to enter the workforce and begin living like an “adult”. I knew I wanted to live and work in Boston, so shortly before I graduated I met with a realtor and signed a year lease on a cute little one-bedroom apartment…

Nothing annoys me more than people who excessively waste money then cry poor. If you want to learn how to stop spending money then I have one very simple rule for you to follow. It isn’t hard, but if you have been frivolously spending money for years then it might be a little more difficult for you.

Drum roll…

 
 
 
As you might recall, we are currently in the process of flipping a house. We partnered up with a property management/ remodeling company for this project. Basically, they brought us the deal. We are putting up the money, and they are responsible for taking care of repairs and remodeling the property…

There is a lot of information out there.  I mean, A LOT.  Even before the Internet arose and allowed everyone to write their own blogs and other websites, helping to create massive amounts of information on a daily basis, there was still a simply incredible amount of data to be passed along from one generation to the next…

Hey everyone! Happy Monday. I was able to get a decent amount of side hustle work done over the weekend, but it still went by way too quickly. I can’t believe that July is almost over also.
This will be a short week and I only work 3 days, WOOHOOO!
We were given free baseball tickets for yesterday’s Cardinals game and went to that with W’s boss…

I want to preface this with a warning that this might turn into a rant.  I just have to get this off my chest and I think it could end up sparking some change.  Let’s hope!
Those of us that are currently in debt or have been in debt before know one thing about the situation.  It sucks!  There is no other way to explain it…

It is nice to have buffer room in your budget or savings account. Sometimes things pop up or life gets busy. Other times there are special or once in a lifetime occasions. There could even be a one time sale that is too good to pass up. If you don’t have that buffer, things probably won’t go over very smoothly…

 
Moving is a big deal.  It requires a lot of planning ahead and packing.  Then you actually have to get through the actual move which is always pretty painful.  If you’re moving across country it’s an even bigger deal and requires a bit more detailed planning.  A cross city move isn’t nearly as tough…

Not sure if it’s an ego thing (I’m sure why wife would say “yes”), but I like to have the best of the best. I don’t want a good steak, I want the “best” steak when I go out to eat. When I go the movies, I don’t want to see a good movie. Screw that! I want to see the “best’ movie…

Good morning Dinks. So often our personality controls everything about our lives and sometimes we don’t even know it.  If we have a controlling personality we most likely have other aspects of our life under control.  If we like to be in control our finances are probably very in order and our spending is probably very limited…

When I graduated from college, I had a lot of stuff that I either didn’t need anymore or couldn’t fit in my new apartment – stuff like textbooks, furniture, and kitchenware, among other things…

I walked onto the baseball field and squatted behind home plate to warm up my son who was pitching. It was the last game of the end of the season tournament, and my eyes watered as he hurled the first pitch at me.  Next year he will be trying out for the high school team. Is he good enough to be a pitcher at the high school level? Will he even make the team?  These are questions I cannot answer, and I couldn’t help but wonder if this is the last time I would watch my son wind up on a pitcher’s mound…

It goes without saying that to protect yourself and your boat from mishaps that are uncalled for, you need to get your boat insured. The cost of each vessel varies greatly. Sometimes, you may have to spend merely a few hundred dollars to get the boat of your dreams while at other times; you may … Continue Reading »
