December 11, 2007 at 10:23 am ET All you ever wanted to know about how to shop for groceries.
Photo by Robert Wechsler
How much do you spend on groceries? The answer varies depending on where you live, how many people you live with, and what your buying patterns are and can range from a very thrifty $50 a month per head in the most frugal American households to a more typical $150 a month per person or even to a more extravagant $300 and higher a month, per head. You may cringe at thousand dollar grocery bills for your typical family of four but they’re ... (more) Monday, December 10, 2007 From The Digerati Life - view blog entries - visit this blog
December 10, 2007 at 2:01 pm ET I’ve barely blinked and it’s the end of the year already. I feel like I’m once more cramming to get things done before we step into 2008. Last year, I did a post about some smart year end reminders which we’ve tacked on to our current “to do” list, but since then, I’ve [...] ...

December 7, 2007 at 2:02 pm ET This must be our anthem.
I’m publishing this YouTube video which has resonated greatly with me because it tells the story of what I went through in the dot-com era, especially the part about “trading in my twenties for a worthless pile of tech stock” and “suffering through the market crash and losing a giant wad [...] ...

December 6, 2007 at 5:44 pm ET There was a time when we didn’t have kids, a time when we never bothered with Christmas lights, decor, trees and so forth. But when you have children and your entire street lights up like noone’s business, then you end up wanting to join the town light parade to some degree so that you’re [...] ...

December 4, 2007 at 11:06 am ET Be careful where you put your rainy day fund.
I didn’t expect to see the day when I’d question where we’ve been keeping our cash. For almost two decades, it’s been sitting in a money market mutual fund (MMF) in an investment institution, growing at a snail’s pace. Well, the last couple of weeks, [...] ...

December 3, 2007 at 12:33 pm ET Giving a mathematical paradigm a behavioral spin: my thoughts on making the first million.
We’ve all known how tough it seems to make the first few thousand bucks. It’s not an illusion. It *really* is hard to make the first few thousand. Or even the first few hundred thousand. Until finally the [...] ... (more) Sunday, December 2, 2007 Intense Job Search, Reduce College Debt and Vote for Frugal Law Student! (at) The Roundup (5 clicks)

December 2, 2007 at 9:23 am ET In the personal finance blogosphere, we know him as “the guy who tried to use baking soda to brush his teeth in an effort to save money, but failed the smell test.”
Nice mug
I wanted to put in a word for Brett McKay at The Frugal Law Student: as one of my favorite bloggers [...] ... (more) Saturday, December 1, 2007 From The Digerati Life - view blog entries - visit this blog
December 1, 2007 at 11:36 am ET The month of November was an unprecedented one at The Digerati Life as traffic doubled for us in a span of a month. This was largely due to some posts that were picked up by larger sites, the catalyst of which is the support we receive from other personal finance and money bloggers. [...] ...

Now that the season is turning and we’re entering into what most will say is the busiest time of the year, I’m finding myself pretty short on time with a whole lot of work ahead at the home front. For the most part, I’ve been doing some Christmas shopping, playing hostess to some international guests for the holidays and also putting together our annual Christmas display — that would include both the outdoor area and the interior of our home. Plus in the coming month, I’m also handling some extra school-related matters for my kids like applications/registrations (new ...

November 29, 2007 at 11:43 am ET I’m personally not that big on gifts, but lots of people enjoy giving and receiving stuff from each other during various events throughout the year, so I thought to offer a few thoughts on the subject of reciprocal gifting.
The time for giving is coming up and we’ll soon all be finding ourselves wondering about what to get our loved ones. If I can predict what happens, many of us will find ourselves packing the parking lots at the final hour, hoping there’s still something decent that can be found and bought from the department store we’ve decided to head ...

1st Truth: Bill Gates makes over $30 million each night while he sleeps.
2nd Truth: The most expensive stock in the world is Berkshire Hathaway (BRKA). The stock as of today trades for $134,215 per share.
3rd Truth: On an average day, over $6.6 Billion is circulated through Apple (AAPL) stock.
4th Truth: The world record for the largest single portfolio return in one year is 29,233% which was done by Dan Zanger.
5th Truth: The Blue-Ray versus HD DVD battle is worth over ten billion dollars to the winner.

November 27, 2007 at 2:26 pm ET Here’s an update on my plan to retire from my day job — crossing my fingers that I’ll be making it happen!
A couple of months ago, I was contemplating a change in our lives and it was then only a seed of thought. Then something happened a few weeks after that, which made me [...] ... (more) Monday, November 26, 2007 From The Digerati Life - view blog entries - visit this blog
November 26, 2007 at 12:21 pm ET This is the type of stuff that wakes up the collector in me.
I really enjoyed Tricia’s list and discussion of various piggy banks to get your kids to learn the value of a buck . Manufacturers are getting more and more creative! What more, she found one I found thoroughly amusing: the bank that explodes if you don’t save often enough. These new-fangled banks are much more interactive nowadays and use all kinds of incentives to get you to save, including the fear factor!
This gave me the idea of featuring some ... (more) Sunday, November 25, 2007 From The Digerati Life - view blog entries - visit this blog
November 25, 2007 at 11:52 am ET I just took one look at this post and can’t believe how long it got (as usual!). Lots of material here but don’t let it deter you — it includes a few eventful matters that transpired in the last week. If you’re curious about what’s up in the personal finance blogosphere, then check [...] ... (more) Saturday, November 24, 2007 From The Digerati Life - view blog entries - visit this blog
November 24, 2007 at 2:22 pm ET Oh yeah, this is precisely why I dread setting foot in the stores this weekend, but I may just have to — I need a few small items for the home and the family which are absolutely necessary, and I’m trying to decide whether I should go this weekend or defer the trip till this [...] ...

November 23, 2007 at 11:26 am ET Today is the beginning of the huge holiday shopping season for those best deals around. But as I’ve mentioned before, I’m one of those people who will pass on the opportunity to save money by shopping this early since I am not too fond of big crowds and parking lot traffic jams. And [...] ... (more) Thursday, November 22, 2007 From The Digerati Life - view blog entries - visit this blog

November 19, 2007 at 12:13 pm ET The good and bad of market timing. Are you prepared to buy and hold forever?
Technically speaking, there’s no such thing as “buying and holding” forever because in order to be a responsible steward of your portfolio, you’d have to take it through times of evolution, growth, adjustment and reorientation, all depending on where you [...] ...

November 18, 2007 at 11:35 am ET I’ve received a good amount of feedback about one of my posts this week.
