Friday, October 20, 2006The importance of teaming upI've been telling my wife for a few years that we were going to end up being millionaires. "That's nice." She didn't say it but I could feel it. It was a nice thought but she had her doubts. She was supportive and accepted my study of money and business and probably hoped that I was right. Being a...

If you don't already know this, it's something that you need to learn. The point I want to bring up with this is that if you have partner in life, the two of you need to be on the same wavelength on important issues. If one is believing...

Additionally, the guy that I'm going to be replacing probably isn't leaving as planned. He says that he's going to stay for a few extra days and doesn't know when his last day will be. I don't think that anything will happen until he makes a final decision. I...

We left at 6am and got back a little after 9pm. It was a long day of shopping and errands in the city. We took care of a recall notice on the van, took my wife to a doctor's appointment, and then...

He still thinks it's going to be in about a week. I know that he's burned out on this job and really wants to get out so maybe he'll be able to pull something off. My boss keeps telling me that I'm going... Sign in to see full entry.Saturday, October 14, 2006Part of the problem is that women are just cold-hearted. Face it!The battle of the thermostat is going nice and easy right now. It has warmed back up a little so it's not an issue right now. It's a beautiful short-sleeve day today but that will change in the weeks to come. Blackcat30 brought up a key factor that I'm hoping plays out in my favor. Generally, women...

I'll explain the contest and the pros and cons and you tell me who you think will win. Here's the deal. Step #2 is to spend less money. Last year, our heating bill was a killer. We have an electric heater. There is no... Sign in to see full entry.Thursday, October 12, 2006Rule #3 - Make More MoneyIt's time to get back to updating this blog daily when possible. The summer is well over and the distractions of summer are behind us. Holiday distractions loom ahead but I think if we get back on track, it will be smooth sailing. Not that we were actually off track really. Less focused maybe but...

I don't think she has narrowed the field down too much beyond that. She's still reading up on debt and getting out of debt, bankruptcy, credit cards, and everything else. During the conversation, she... Sign in to see full entry.Sunday, August 6, 2006How much is the interest rate on the American Dream?It should be zero. If you are paying more than that, you are paying too much and getting too little of the dream. First, we need to make sure we are clear about what I think the dream is. Too many people think that the American Dream is a material thing. For me, it's about freedom. Financial freedom... Sign in to see full entry. |
