December 13, 2009

Everyone thinks, "if I was rich, I'd buy ________." If I was rich, I'd buy an apartment in Chelsea in NYC, a dozen pair of designer shoes, and a long trip to Africa. I'd also probably go back to school for a Ph.D. in sociology (I really enjoy my work, but becoming a working ... Read more...

"Frankly, I Can’t Take the Pressure"

December 11, 2009

My blog is one year old today! I can't believe I've been PF blogging for a year. It seems like just yesterday that I made the decision to begin committing my financial trials and triumphs to a "journal" for anyone to see, and I'm continually grateful to the readers who have made ... Read more...

Help! I Can’t Decide!

November 25, 2009

I tend to have sort of an obsessive mind when it comes to decision making. If I'm trying to decide something I obsess about it forever, and until I come to a conclusion, I can't think about much else. I'm in one of those conflicts right now, and I need your help! I'm thinking ... Read more...

Til Debt Do Us Part

November 22, 2009

When I'm home on Saturday nights, I usually make a point to watch the Suze Orman Show. I don't know why, but I really like it. I think it's Suze's approach to discussing peoples' financial situations with them - she doesn't mince words, and she calls people out when they're ... Read more...
