Oh, where to start with this one; it is a fairly dead horse to beat, but I DID recently read it, and it DOES have to do with my blog as I’m posting anything that has to do with money, and it certainly DOES have to do with money ($7 specifically from the discount book [...]
So I met with my Edward Jones rep 2 weeks ago and he informed me that my ROTH IRA is being invested 100% in NPFBX. Keep in mind, 9 months ago, my goal was to just get a ROTH IRA started again. Now that I’m a bit futher along in my journey, I figured I’d [...]
I got to thinking about this today after reading Hot Air’s post about how they had to pull a lottery game in the UK because the goal of the game was in reference to temperature; more specifically, negative numbers. People were supposed to scratch the ticket and find if they had a lower number than [...]
So yesterday I got to thinking about how I would be impacting my retirement account by taking out the $2000.00 for the emergency root canal procedure I bought myself yesterday.

UPDATE! AGLOCO CALLS IT QUITS! How long have people asked this question? I suppose since the beginning of money. I certainly have had my fair share falling for scams. Without a big investment you’re kind of limited in your options. I have never had a lot of cash to work for me so I have [...]

I’ve interviewed a 3rd time and talked with the hiring manager on several occasions stating that everything SHOULD be in proper order. The salary will fit, the position title [...]
I recently got my bill in the mail from Travelers Insurance. I went with them because when I called up Geico to renew my auto insurance, they mentioned they cut a deal with these guys to give me the best deal on homeowners insurance. But did they? I own a fairly new house (it’s a [...]
I have a $500,000 whole life insurance policy with Hartford Mutual that I pay $200/month to keep up. $8.50 goes to the administrative fee, $100 for the actual coverage itself and the remaining $90.00 goes into the mutual fund.
