I got home from work today and checked my mail. Surprise!! There was an envelope from the IRS. I am not expecting my stimulus check until July and it felt awfully thick to be a check and guess what? It wasn’t! It was a notice that I owe them about $1500 more from [...] ... (more) Driving Off the Lot in a Used Sub-Compact… (18 clicks)

May 8, 2008 at 8:00 pm ET Tonight I stopped by the bank on the way home from work — you know, the drive up ATM…
Well the car in front of me was one of those beat-up used subcompacts like in the catchy FREE CREDIT REPORT .COM commercials.
Seriously, it was even the same color.
I didn’t pay them too much attention until they [...] ... (more) The Way NOT To Network (17 clicks)

May 9, 2008 at 8:00 am ET Good Will had an article in the May 5 edition of Newsweek titled “
Questions for Obama“. One question was;
“You favor eliminating the cap on earnings subject to the 12.4 percent Social Security tax, which now covers only the first $102,000. A Chicago police officer married to a Chicago public-school teacher, each with 20 years on [...] ... (more) Got My Tax Stimulus Rebate Today (16 clicks)

From Blueprint for Financial Prosperity - view blog entries - visit this blog
May 9, 2008 at 3:41 pm ET I discovered this detailed real estate blog called Matrix and this incredible set of mortgage-related heatmaps used by Bernanke in his last speech. Heatmaps are the quickest way to get a “snapshot” of a situation and these go through so many permutations that you can get a really good sense of what’s going on (and [...] ...

May 9, 2008 at 8:56 am ET There are quite a few people that are angry and frustrated over the first week of economic stimulus payments rolling out as portrayed by the comments on this post. The payment schedule that the IRS printed is obviously not being followed. People with their last two digits in the 50’s, 60’s and [...] ... (more) Mapping Personal Finance Bloggers (13 clicks)

May 8, 2008 at 7:03 pm ET I’m all about technology that brings online connections into the real world. In fact, I think that is the best use of technology. Prime Time Money created a useful map of US personal finance bloggers. ... (more) Got My Stimulus Check (Direct Deposit) (12 clicks)
From The Finance Journey - view blog entries - visit this blog
May 9, 2008 at 7:51 am ET Honestly, I haven’t been following the economic stimulus payment schedule that closely. I knew I was going to get one pretty soon but never really figured out exactly when I was going to get it.
Well, I checked my accounts through Yodlee this morning (like I do just about every morning) and noticed the following [...] ... (more) From Squawkfox - view blog entries - visit this blog
May 8, 2008 at 11:31 pm ET I’ve been thinking a lot about life insurance lately. I don’t have a death wish or anything, but I think life insurance is a neglected area of personal finance which requires some squawkfox attention. Without ...

May 9, 2008 at 1:26 pm ET At least, that’s how the second paragraph in an article on CNN reads:
“If you’re among the 130 million people who qualify for the rebate, that’s great. But you should savor the feeling. Regardless of what happens over the next few months, your taxes have nowhere to go but up in the long-term future.”
And honestly, I [...] ... (more) Yes, Even Us Millionaires Are Feeling The Pinch. (11 clicks)

May 9, 2008 at 2:32 pm ET If John McCain wins in November, don't expect to ever see his wife's tax returns. "You know, my husband and I have been married 28 years and we have filed separate tax returns for 28 years. This is a privacy issue. My husband is the candidate," Cindy McCain said in an NBC Today show interview... ... (more) From Money Crashers - view blog entries - visit this blog
May 9, 2008 at 9:54 am ET My last two social security digits are 53. So, according to the payment schedule, I was supposed to receive the stimulus payment this morning. Although, with all of the comments on this site from people who didn’t receive it last Friday, I was not counting on anything. So, I logged into my [...] ...

May 9, 2008 at 1:59 pm ET Just checked the account balance, and our “economic stimulus” payment is finally here. While others got theirs early, ours came when the IRS schedule said it would.
I am underwhelmed with the government’s “generosity” here: we only got $600 total, which breaks down to $300 each. Apparently an E-4 at the top of the pay scale [...] ... (more) From MyMoneyBlog - view blog entries - visit this blog
May 9, 2008 at 9:20 am ET Initially, I had intended this to be review of Suze Orman’s newest book Women & Money: Owning the Power to Control Your Destiny to be done by my wife. However, she expresses no interest in doing so. So I read it myself, and found out that her reaction was actually a bit [...] ... (more) There goes my savings. (9 clicks)

May 8, 2008 at 8:00 pm ET For whatever reason, my university is going to require that I pay out of pocket for my summer tuition and eventually get reimbursed in July. That will drain ALL of my savings (1,200 dollars) and ... (more) From The Simple Dollar - view blog entries - visit this blog
May 9, 2008 at 4:00 pm ET I love oatmeal. I eat it for breakfast probably five days a week. It’s a very healthy fuel to get your motor running for the day, plus it can be very tasty if it’s made well.
Whenever I find myself using something almost every day, I begin to wonder if I can’t reduce the [...] ... (more) From Get Rich Slowly - view blog entries - visit this blog
May 9, 2008 at 3:30 pm ET As I continue to achieve my short-term goals, my attention is turning increasingly to long-range plans. What is it I want to do with my life? I’ve always toyed with the idea of early retirement, and lately I’ve been reading more about the subject. Three books that have helped me so far are:
Timothy Ferriss’ The [...] ... (more) Stimulated! (8 clicks)
From Tired But Happy - view blog entries - visit this blog
May 9, 2008 at 2:49 pm ET I got my stimulus payment today, all $886 of it for myself and my little dependent. I am trying to figure out how to pay my credit card bill and preschool tuition before M gets paid next week and before I get reimbursed for some work expenses, but I am going to leave that stimulus payment burning a hole in my savings account for a couple more weeks. I'll need it when we RIP OFF THE FRONT OF OUR HOUSE later this month. The excitement is starting to fade about the pretty new facade we'll have, and I'm fretting about ...

May 9, 2008 at 10:39 am ET Rising gas prices affect us all, but they affect some people’s jobs (and therefore bottom lines) more directly than others.

May 9, 2008 at 9:39 am ET Yay! We received our economic stimulus payment today and I sent off a huge chunk of change towards our debt. Our payment was for $1,500 and I originally thought we would only use a portion towards our debt.
Well, I couldn’t resist using all of it to put towards our debt. That brought [...] ... (more) 5 Free Magazines For You (8 clicks)

Last month I opened up my “free magazines” section (see the tab in the menu bar). At the time I shared just a bit about the selections. Therefore, I thought it might be beneficial to point you towards some of the better options.
So, I scoured the vast catalog of magazines, papers, and podcasts to [...] ... (more) From Her Every Cent Counts - view blog entries - visit this blog
