    Wednesday, December 12, 2007 Ranking of Ethnic Food By Cost (15 clicks)
From AskDong - view blog entries - visit this blog
December 12, 2007 at 12:24 pm ET I eat out alot, more than I’m willing to admit to myself (I am trying to pitch frugality after all). One factor that ends up helping me out is that I tend to eat ethnic, and by a large measure sit down ethnic food is often quite a bit cheaper than American food. [...] ...

December 11, 2007 at 12:34 pm ET Over at CNNMoney, they’ve put together a portraits of the financial lives of some of the presidential candidate. I know this much, I’m pretty sure none of them will be reading AskDong anytime soon to learn how to score a little extra cash by signing up for credit card deals. Barack Obama [...] ...

From AskDong - view blog entries - visit this blog
December 10, 2007 at 12:01 pm ET The past three years, my girlfriend and I have hosted an annual holiday party at our apartment for about 30-40 people. This party is pretty much the one big social event that we host a year. We have people over for dinner throughout the year, and I host poker games every so often. [...] ...

From AskDong - view blog entries - visit this blog
December 7, 2007 at 12:11 pm ET Nickel and Dimed is a journalist expose by Barbara Eherenreich into to the world of the working poor. I’ve been meaning to read the book for over 4 years now. It’s sat at my desk at work for nearly three of those years, even making the move to the new office. [...] ... (more) Thursday, December 6, 2007 From AskDong - view blog entries - visit this blog
December 6, 2007 at 11:56 am ET I’m in the process of switching my Internet connection to DSL. Currently I’m reduced to using my mobile phone as a modem. I also gave my Dad my old wireless router since he needed one, and I usually manage to snag better deals than my Dad can. Yes, we’re still talking even [...] ...

December 5, 2007 at 11:15 am ET Lazy Man published the most recent Festival of Frugality #102. I was selected as an editor’s choice for my ode to premium toilet paper and on top of that I got a link at MSN’s Smart Spending. Woohoo!
Below are a few other articles that I enjoyed from this most recent festival.

From AskDong - view blog entries - visit this blog
December 4, 2007 at 3:06 pm ET The overall performance of my IRA account(s) hasn’t changed much since last month despite what has been a rather volatile market. November saw broad market declines with a dramatic uptick in the last couple days as Wall Street got excited about a potential rate cut by the Fed. Of course the uptick [...] ... (more) Monday, December 3, 2007 Ten Things to Do by Year End (22 clicks)
From AskDong - view blog entries - visit this blog
December 3, 2007 at 12:09 pm ET On the first Monday of December, I though I would review a couple things to do at the end of the year.
Sign up for loyalty programs, such as frequent flier programs. Frequent flier program typically award status level based on flights taken in a calendar year. As a result it makes sense to [...] ... (more) Sunday, December 2, 2007 Dollar Worries (2 clicks)

December 2, 2007 at 1:15 pm ET Dave Asks:
What do you think of buying gold, via index fund or other means, given inflation concerns? I’ve lately been considering $ exposure and am thinking of going more international to hedge the $ (via index fund) and buying gold to hedge inflation. What are good ways to buy gold? What are [...] ... (more) Saturday, December 1, 2007 Hanalei Bay Resort (4 clicks)
From AskDong - view blog entries - visit this blog
December 1, 2007 at 12:24 pm ET When I had decided that I wanted to go to Kauai, I had also decided that I wanted to stay on the north shore. The north shore is more scenic than the other coasts. It’s certainly the greenest, receiving more rain than any other coast of Kauai. Hanalei Bay is the [...] ... (more) Friday, November 30, 2007 From AskDong - view blog entries - visit this blog
November 30, 2007 at 12:03 pm ET According to James Larue, he made a request to his 401k to sell in 2000 and his plan didn’t. Now he’s suing his employer for over $150,000 of losses in the tech bubble crash. While his suit in principle makes sense. James has a legitimate complaint if it’s true that he issued an order but [...] ... (more) Thursday, November 29, 2007 Don’t Skimp on the Toilet Paper (8 clicks)
From AskDong - view blog entries - visit this blog
November 29, 2007 at 12:50 pm ET Over Thanksgiving, I gave a good yelling to my dad when I got out the bathroom. He had recently stocked the bathroom with probably what was the cheapest toilet paper I have ever used in my life. It was the generic toilet paper from Market Basket, one of the lower priced Supermarkets in [...] ... (more) Wednesday, November 28, 2007 Hawaiian Summary (1 click)
From AskDong - view blog entries - visit this blog
November 28, 2007 at 11:50 am ET I spent two nights in Honolulu two nights in Maui, and 4 in Kauai. I will only be skimming over my time in Honolulu and Maui given that I didn’t actually do much on those islands.
Honolulu
I stayed at the Ohana East in Waikiki. My girlfriend’s company paid for the room which they were [...] ... (more) Kaua’i Recap Details (2 clicks)

November 28, 2007 at 11:45 am ET Princeville
As you pass the gated but open entrance to Princeville, an ornate fountain welcomes you to what could be just another expensive suburban community. The Hanalei Bay Resort and the Princeville Hotel are the primary hotels/resorts in the compound. While there are commercial properties in the area, Princeville is on the most part [...] ...

November 27, 2007 at 11:45 am ET I’m generally not a fan of most actively managed mutual funds. I think on the most part you’re paying too much for too little performance. Most actively managed funds do not beat the index without even taking into account the higher expenses. I’m not an absolutist, however, I think there are [...] ...

November 26, 2007 at 9:20 pm ET I was featured in the recent Carnival of Personal Finance #122. I didn’t make the editor’s choice, but that’s ok. I thought I would feature some other articles that I liked that but weren’t picked for the A team.
Mrs. Micah tells us how we can find find freelance jobs in our [...] ... (more) The Simple Life (9 clicks)
From AskDong - view blog entries - visit this blog
November 26, 2007 at 11:20 am ET Some of us write posts about the simple life, and some play the simple life on tv, but few of us actually do it. This past weekend I spent a good amount time chatting with my brother about an old friend of his from college with whom he had just met up with for lunch. [...] ...

From AskDong - view blog entries - visit this blog
November 24, 2007 at 1:16 pm ET As I’m sure some people have surmised I’m back from the wonderful islands of Hawaii. I came back on a redeye on Thanksgiving. I was lucky enough to avoid any delays despite traveling on the busiest travel days of the year. I will be in the next week posting a thorough recap/guide of my time [...] ...

From AskDong - view blog entries - visit this blog
November 23, 2007 at 1:16 pm ET While I didn’t think it would happen so quickly, the S&P 500 is down for the year (though at the close of today it’s likely to be back up). It’s not down by much, a little more than a tenth of a percent, but down it is. Today on what is likely one of the [...] ... (more) Thursday, November 22, 2007 The Price of a Turkey Dinner (10 clicks)
From AskDong - view blog entries - visit this blog
November 22, 2007 at 1:03 pm ET As we give thanks for our blessings, I thought I would look at it what it costs to do Thanksgiving. Entertaining and feeding guest can be expensive, but being anti-social is personally costlier in the long run.
In many regards the traditional Turkey dinner is one of the more affordable dinners to put together for large [...] ... (more) Wednesday, November 21, 2007 From AskDong - view blog entries - visit this blog
November 21, 2007 at 11:40 am ET The old adage on buying houses is to buy the worst house in the best neighborhood. The same should be said of hotel rooms. Many of the nicer hotels and resorts on the beach typically offer at least three different classes of rooms (not including suites). When I stayed at Caneel Bay, it had in [...] ...

November 20, 2007 at 11:45 am ET I’ve never driven a car that’s needed anything but the cheapest gas available. My family drove a car that ran on regular when it meant leaded well into the 80s. I’m not sure how to fill up a tank with anything but the cheapy under 90 octane stuff. I have friends who drive nicer cars [...] ...

November 19, 2007 at 12:34 pm ET Given my background in the Energy Industry, I’m often interested by things that most people would not give a second thought to. On my flight from Honolulu to Maui, there was a serendipitous moment. I was reading an article on the geothermal plant on the Big Island while we flew over a set of large [...] ...

November 17, 2007 at 12:46 pm ET I sold my second spot at Text-Links-Ads last week. I’m not really sure how I feel about it on two different fronts. 1) The ad is for a payday loan company. While I respect the right for these types of companies to exist, and acknowledge there might be a time and place for their business, [...] ... (more) Items 106 - 130 of 132
