It occurred to me when I was putting my receipts into my monthly spreadsheet last night that I may not have said ever exactly how I figure out what I spend monthly on different items in my life. You can go to the Microsoft web site for all the free budget planners you...

Taxes On Your Own And Why That’s Not A Bad Idea
I just finished an article from Smart Money Magazine called "10 Things Your Tax Preparer Won't Tell You". Apparently there are a few reasons for people to do their taxes on their own: 1) Tax preparers make more and costlier mistakes than the average person...

Ode To A Company: Threadless T-shirts
I do love a cool graphic t-shirt on the weekend. During the weekdays, I dress nice for work and lead an otherwise dull adult life. But when I pull on a cool t-shirt on Saturday morning, it makes me feel young and hip in a way I can’t describe. Needless to say, I don’t...
