October 4, 2011

Why, oh why do the children insist on breathing and touching things - like the papers they hand in, my pencils, etc. - in my presence? Can't they do these things in their free time so that I don't get infected with the various plagues they carry?! Anyway, I am sick and not happy ... Read more...

I’m Back!

August 10, 2011

I just got home this morning from a week-long mini vacation with my sister. It was amazing to get away for a little while, for a lot of reasons. One of them is that I'm feeling re-energized about personal finance again. I was going through a period of the ho-hums with my money ... Read more...

All Quiet Around Here….

July 18, 2011

I haven't posted in a while because I really don't have too much to report! There won't be any real financial excitement* until August when I start getting my extra pay for my summer programs. That's when I'll be able to wipe the car loan off the books! I'm starting to look ahead ... Read more...

Updates (+/- Edition)

June 12, 2011

+ I had a great time reading AP exams in Cincinnati! It was a nice little break from my current reality.- Part of having a great time is spending a little too much money - which I did. I only see my reading friends once a year, so I wasn't about to be pinching pennies, but I just ... Read more...

I’m Back!

June 10, 2011

Not Much to Report…

May 22, 2011

I'm having a very financially uneventful month. I'm not going to make any progress on the car debt because I have a lot of other expenses coming up, between T's birthday and my trip to go read tests and a few other major social events. So, I guess I'll be happy if I break ... Read more...

Stuff I Don’t Get, Financial and Otherwise

May 8, 2011

Sometimes, the world around me baffles me. Here are a few examples:1. People who think nothing can go wrong. Ever. And because they think nothing can go wrong, they have no financial exit plan.2. Dave Ramsey's view on credit cards. If he's so confident that he's teaching people ... Read more...

Hospitalized

April 14, 2011

I have been in and out of the hospital for the past week with a serious infection in my colon. Nasty business. I'm on the mend now and will be back to regular posting next week. ... Read more...

I Don’t Want To Do This Forever

March 14, 2011

I haven't written much about this, but for the past 5 weeks I've been working at least 70 hours per week. I have two tutoring programs going on at the same time and I'm staying after school every day until at least 5:00. Before anyone says something like: "Oh, 5:00?! Boo ... Read more...

I’m Starting to Think…

March 1, 2011

...that maybe it's not that important to be perfect all the time...that it's ok to pursue goals at a slow and steady pace...that spending money on having fun isn't naughty...that I'm too practical...that buying myself treats every now and then really does make me happy..and ... Read more...
