Online Savings Updates

VirtualBank-
Received a nice letter in the mail yesterday welcoming me to VirtualBank. The weird thing is that the letter had been sent with the envelope unsealed. You could look at the glue on the flapand tell that moisture had never been applied to it. Not exactly something that inspires confidence in a […]

This is the first time I’ve ever tried to figure something like this out, so have no idea if I’ve got some glaring mistakes (left out or added in), but I think it’s a pretty good accounting of where I stand right now.

I’ve only been reading personal finance blogs for a few months now, but they frequently make me laugh (in ways the author did not expect). For example, today Jonathan at MyMoneyBlog, posted about saving $250/yr on haircuts, and received 25 comments in about 18 hours. I just had to laugh.
Why? Because I […]

Money From Nothin’

It’s been a long, hard struggle to get where I am now, and I’m not sure that’s a location to which many would aspire. Ya see, I’m still broke. The difference is that now the path I’ve been struggling along has a little more light shed upon it. This blog is an […]
