April 11, 2008 at 9:33 am ET Well, this is my first post here on TPS. I figured Id start with something we love (ok maybe just some of us)…investing.

April 10, 2008 at 11:28 am ET The price of gas has been going crazy lately but even now gas is one of the cheaper liquids that we buy on a daily basis.

April 9, 2008 at 12:02 pm ET There have been a couple articles lately on “middle class” that have caught my attention. First there was the discussion thread on the simple dollar, and then Mrs Micah wrote “Whats Wrong with being in the middle class.” So am I just a gigantic jerk?
Maybe but let me explain. My beef is [...] ... (more) Tuesday, April 8, 2008 From The Penny Saved - view blog entries - visit this blog
April 8, 2008 at 10:55 am ET Its the sound of lending club landing in the trash can. I guess I will have to replace their banner on my sidebar with a gigantic “X” because I got this email from Lending Club early this morning (emphasis mine):
Dear Jesse,
Lending Club has started a process to register, with the appropriate securities authorities, promissory [...] ... (more) Monday, April 7, 2008 How much house can I afford? (16 clicks)

April 6, 2008 at 11:36 am ET I have lent probably 10 friends money in my life. Of those I have had 8 pay me back.

April 5, 2008 at 3:33 pm ET The best time to pay for your kids college tuition is not when they are going to college. I know that seems kind of counter intuitive, sort of like how eating more times per day can help you lose weight. No joke, look it up.
So when is the best time to save for [...] ... (more) Friday, April 4, 2008 Whatever you do, do not do this (34 clicks)

April 4, 2008 at 3:14 pm ET I just got back from Portland last night on business and I learned several things about life and finances that you would not expect to learn from Portland.

April 3, 2008 at 9:38 am ET Buy low. Sell high. Get rich. Work from home. Own a mansion.

March 31, 2008 at 7:14 am ET Saving money on gas, who doesn’t want to? For those of you who have a nice balanced budget, the rising gas costs mean more and more of your salary goes straight down into the gas tank.

March 27, 2008 at 2:16 pm ET First and foremost as you can tell, I added a column, a special thanks to Chuck from The Financial Journey who helped me out a bunch for no good reason, other than he is a BA. If you don’t read his blog, you should.

March 26, 2008 at 4:56 pm ET I happened to overhear a conversation the other day between two 30-something guys talking about their jobs. One of them said to the other “I don’t waste money in my companies retirement crap.” A few years ago I wouldn’t have thought twice about it and I would have just gone along on my merry way, [...] ...

March 24, 2008 at 4:31 pm ET I am writing this in response to this article entitled “Why Dont more Americans give a damn about the environment.” Actually I should have titled this article “Why I dont give a damn about people telling me to give more of a damn about the environment” but then, thats not nearly as hooky is it?

March 24, 2008 at 11:23 am ET I have a serious problem with being forgetful. I think that my girlfriend will, in fact, kill me someday due to me forgetting something big.
