Last month I mentioned I was interviewing with two companies. Well, I have great news - I received job offers from both companies last week! Now I need to make a decision between them, and quickly. One of the offers is only good until this Friday because they need to get the position staffed ASAP.

When the IRS announced last week they were accelerating the economic stimulus payment schedule, it caused a lot of confusion. Since then, a lot of people have asked me when they will receive their economic stimulus rebate from the government. I have done my best to answer as many questions as possible, but I do [...] ...

I’m a big fan of saving money, and I’m an even bigger fan of cool electronics! One of the ways I like to combine these two things is to shop around for great deals on electronics items. The best way I have found to do this is buying discounted or refurbished electronics. The best part [...] ... ( more)

A first impression is the most important thing you give to a prospective employer. Your interviewer has already read your resume, and may have even talked to you on the phone.

I recently signed up for Revolution Money Exchange, a new on-line money exchange company, much like PayPal but without as many fees (see my Revolution Money Exchange review).

Hello everyone. It looks like the IRS decided to send out the economic stimulus rebates early. I have no problem receiving my rebate almost a week earlier than initially scheduled!

The IRS announced today that they will send out economic stimulus payments starting this Monday, April 28th. This is almost a week earlier than the originally planned date of May 2nd. The reason given for the early send off? To stimulate the economy.

My wife and I have two old laptop computers, and we recently decided to replace one of them with a new desktop computer.

My wife and have two 6 year old laptop computers which, until recently, were running sloooowly (think molasses in January slow). We thought we would need to buy two new computers, but thankfully, we found a few ways to improve their performance and ultimately extend their life.
In then end, we decided one of them was [...] ... ( more)

Somewhere along the way I missed the memo about Earth Day, which was yesterday. I thought I would share 12 ways I conserve energy and resources on a daily basis. These actions good for our environment, they are good for the pocketbook as well.

Plonkee recently wrote a blog article asking readers and other bloggers about their best financial move in college.

I’ve written about the economic stimulus rebate program a few times on my site, but I continue to receive a substantial amount of stimulus questions in the comments of the articles I have written and via e-mail.

Today is tax day - I hope you got everything taken care of! Like millions of others, I waited until the last minute.
