May 3, 2008 at 10:27 am ET I pulled out my camera gear last night. It’s been two years since I used it regularly. Before I started Get Rich Slowly, I seriously considered trying to become a professional photographer. But for a long time now, my camera stuff has been gathering dust in the corner of my office. I can’t even remember [...] ... (more) Friday, May 2, 2008 The Best of Get Rich Slowly: April 2008 (12 clicks)

May 2, 2008 at 4:00 pm ET Ah, April. It was a fine month. Get Rich Slowly was named most inspirational personal finance blog by Money magazine, I conducted a couple of interviews, and I made my first public presentation about money. I also focused my writing on financial literacy topics. Here are some of the posts I especially liked this month:
April [...] ... (more) From Get Rich Slowly - view blog entries - visit this blog
May 2, 2008 at 8:00 am ET Jason sent me a question yesterday that neatly encapsulates a lot of the mail I receive, as well as rounding up some of the topics we’ve been discussing this week regarding life after school. “I’m living on credit,” he wrote. Here’s his story:
I graduated a year ago with a useless degree but what I thought [...] ... (more) Thursday, May 1, 2008 Daily Links: Twitterpated Edition (4 clicks)

May 1, 2008 at 9:32 pm ET I’m simultaneously an early adopter and the last one to the party. I signed up for a Twitter account long ago, but never did anything with it. I didn’t see the point. Now, though, it seems to have hit some sort of critical mass. Even my non-geeky friends are using it to keep in touch. [...] ... (more) Life After School: Advice for New Graduates (5 clicks)

May 1, 2008 at 8:00 am ET On Tuesday evening I gave my first-ever presentation about personal finance. I spoke to a group of about 70 graduating seniors from Western Oregon University. My talk went okay. It wasn’t terrible, but it certainly wasn’t good. It’s a start. I learned a lot, and I’ll do better next time.
I was the fourth and final [...] ... (more) Wednesday, April 30, 2008 From Get Rich Slowly - view blog entries - visit this blog
April 30, 2008 at 4:34 pm ET Kris at Cheap Healthy Good recently wrote how 60 minutes a week can save hundreds of dollars on food.
This kind of stuff never occurred to me in my early ‘20s, and The Boyfriend and I are much better for it now. We eat like the dickens and haven’t had to sell any major organs to [...] ... (more) From Get Rich Slowly - view blog entries - visit this blog

April 29, 2008 at 9:00 pm ET I’ve received several questions about credit cards recently, and have been struggling with how to handle them. When I started Get Rich Slowly two years ago, I was firmly in the anti-credit card camp. I still believe credit cards are dangerous, but now recognize that they can be cool tools if used responsibly. (”Credit cards [...] ... (more) From Get Rich Slowly - view blog entries - visit this blog
April 29, 2008 at 4:00 pm ET The best part about running this site is reading stories from readers who have managed to take control of their finances and kick debt to the curb. Some people share their success in the comments, but many people e-mail me privately to celebrate. For example, Jodi wrote on Friday to say that after more than [...] ...

April 29, 2008 at 8:00 am ET Consumers underestimate the power of comparison shopping, claims a five-year-old report from the Consumer Federation of America. “Consumers often do not realize that, for most products, a wide range of prices are available and, therefore, consumers often pay too much for the items they buy.”
[The study] results show that most consumers need a far lower [...] ... (more) Monday, April 28, 2008 If I Can Do It, Anyone Can (9 clicks)

April 28, 2008 at 4:00 pm ET At this moment, Kris and I are driving home from a long weekend in Central Oregon. Every year, we rent a home in Sunriver, and spend three days with some of our best friends. It’s great fun. (Yesterday I played golf for the first time in eight years, and I have a nasty sunburn to [...] ... (more) Ask the Readers: Advice for College Grads? (3 clicks)

April 28, 2008 at 8:00 am ET Tomorrow I’ll be giving a short presentation about personal finance to a group of seniors at Western Oregon University. I’ll begin by providing a brief version of my own post-college financial failures, but I want to spend most of the talk providing two or three great take-aways that these young adults can put to use [...] ...

April 27, 2008 at 9:00 pm ET Ever since discovering Action Girl’s Guide to Living, I’ve used it as a sort of inspiration for my own life. I especially like point #2:
Support others’ actions. Support what other people do; spend your time and money on things done for something other than profit. This doesn’t mean you can’t buy the new U2 album [...] ... (more) From Get Rich Slowly - view blog entries - visit this blog
April 27, 2008 at 12:00 pm ET I’m in Trader Joe’s with Rich Rogers. I’m looking for bread. He’s looking at cheese. Rich is in the process of opening an artisan cheese shop in Dallas, Texas, and he never misses a chance to check for cheese in other stores. The past year has been a crash course in retail marketing for him. [...] ... (more) Saturday, April 26, 2008 From Get Rich Slowly - view blog entries - visit this blog
April 26, 2008 at 5:00 pm ET This is a guest post from my wife, who has her own little fan club around here. Maybe she should start a food blog!
Asparagus used to be one of those foods that I loved to eat restaurants, but rarely made at home. For some reason I thought it was difficult to prepare, or that [...] ... (more) From Get Rich Slowly - view blog entries - visit this blog
April 26, 2008 at 8:00 am ET In yesterday’s discussion about how to stop junk mail, icup mentioned using junk mail for mulch. Intrigued, I asked for more information. Here’s what he had to say.
I’m more interested in saving money than saving the environment, but when I see junk mail piling up every day, it makes me stop to think about the [...] ... (more) Friday, April 25, 2008 Check the Status of Your Tax Refund (3 clicks)

April 25, 2008 at 7:00 pm ET It’s tax refund season! If you have a refund due this year and you’re getting antsy for it, you can check its status easily with this simple web-based tool from the IRS web site.

April 25, 2008 at 8:00 am ET I have too much Stuff. Odds are, you do too. In fact, Americans own so much Stuff that they don’t have room to store it all. Our basements and attics are full. Our garages and workshops are overflowing. Our passion for Stuff has spawned a growing industry devoted to providing space for all of the [...] ...

April 24, 2008 at 4:00 pm ET After yesterday’s discussion of 401(k) rollovers, I did a little digging. While browsing the Internal Revenue Service site, I found this handy rollover chart [PDF]:

April 24, 2008 at 8:00 am ET This article is part of Financial Literacy Month.
Most Americans receive a daily flood of junk mail. Some savvy citizens take a stand against the torrent. My friend Pam gets great delight from calling the sender of every catalog she receives in order to be removed from their mailing lists. This works well, but there are [...] ...

April 23, 2008 at 7:30 pm ET I’ve added a new feature to the comments at Get Rich Slowly. Whenever I spot a reader contribution that I particularly like, I’ll highlight it so that others are more likely to notice it. My choice of great comments is entirely subjective, and dependent on time. (I’m highlighting comments manually.) Some days, I may highlight [...] ...

April 23, 2008 at 8:00 am ET This is a guest post from Todd at The Working Dollar.
When you leave your job, you have several choices regarding your 401(k). These options are pretty much universal, meaning they apply to every 401(k) and to every job change situation. Your options are:
Cash the 401(k) plan and receive a full pay-out
I’ve listed this option first [...] ... (more) Tuesday, April 22, 2008 Money and Values: The Ecology of Commerce (9 clicks)

April 22, 2008 at 3:58 pm ET Over the weekend I posted a flippant note about saving money on milk. I hoped to spur conversation about unit pricing, but it led instead to a comparison of milk prices around the U.S. and Canada. This discussion was more interesting than the one I had intended.
“Wow,” I said to Kris after reading some of [...] ... (more) Ask the Readers: Energy Conservation Tips? (2 clicks)

I am facing a unique energy situation. I live in Juneau, Alaska. Last Wednesday, we had an avalanche which affected the electricity generation [...] ... (more) Monday, April 21, 2008 Some Thoughts on Goals and Adult Education (6 clicks)
