Are You Underestimating Your Abilities and Potential?

---

I once knew a cashier that was super intelligent, fast, creative and overall very amazing. The only problem is that she never stopped working at the grocery store where she worked as a cashier.  While there is nothing wrong with my now older friend working as a cashier in a grocery store, I have to [...]

Memorial Day Smoke Fire Scare

---

Today I’m going to deviate off of my normal blogging path and tell of an interesting scare my family recently had. On this past Memorial Day Monday, I woke up at 5:30am and couldn’t get back to sleep.  I found myself continuing to watch the clock in 15 minute intervals as I waited for a [...]

Overreaction to Baby Stuck in Washing Machine

---

Why are we such negative people? The latest buzz on the internet was that a baby boy was put into a washing machine as part of a peek-a-boo game with what looks like a teenager or young man putting the baby in the washing machine as part of the game.  The problem was that the [...]

Are Robert Kiyosaki’s Books a Stepping Stone To Wealth?

---

I decided to go back and re-read (actually listen to the audio books format) some of the famous “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” author, Robert Kiyosaki’s original books. Much to my surprise, they are actually very good!  Oh sure, they are lacking in details and the content is not always spot on, but overall they are [...]

Losing Weight Frugally?

I’m down over 20 pounds to date.

There are many reasons that the price of gold has gone up so much over the past few years.

Debt Free… Now What? Real Estate

Fixing The Penny Problem With A New Currency?

---

In my article “Should Pennies Be Made From Recycled Plastic“, I suggested replacing pennies with recycled plastic.  The idea being that if we replace a penny with a plastic instead of metal, the benefits would be two-fold.  First, the recycled plastic version would be much cheaper to create that the metal version, and secondly we [...]

Is Now The Time To Buy Real Estate?

---

With interest rates are a ridiculously low rate, I have to wonder “Is this the time to buy real estate“? Since interest rates are below 4.0% for both the 15 year and 30 year mortgage loans, I’ve started to unconsciously notice the houses and multi-family apartments for sale.  For the multi-family units, I’m mostly looking [...]
