From Plonkee Money - view blog entries - visit this blogMay 20, 2008 at 8:00 am ET
Frugal, plonkee, is not the same as cheap. Frugal is being sensible, cheap is taking short term gains for long term pains. And, that’s the lesson that I’m currently learning from my appliances.
I don’t have a microwave or a freezer because they cost money and I’m too cheap to get one. But if I did [...] ... ( more)

It’s official. As of this paycheck I got last Friday, my emergency fund should stand at my first goal of $1000 (997.96). The key word there is “should.” So, where is it really? A whopping four dollars and two cents. Giddy up. Hope my only emergency is spilled milk.
But why? Well, since I dumped the [...] ... ( more)

I was having a conversation recently with a coworker of mine about how your professional life has such a major impact on your personal life but it kind of got me thinking, how about the other way around?

From Master Your Card - view blog entries - visit this blogMay 20, 2008 at 8:20 am ET
Every once in a while I’ll hear a new piece of lunacy about the financial industry and the things that people think are true. Some of my favorites include ‘requiring citizens to pay taxes is illegal’ and ‘checks float longer if they’re written in red ink’.
*sigh*
First of all, if you decide not to pay your [...] ... ( more)
