Weekly Roundup #14 (January 26, 2008)

Photo by: meyshanworldThis week wasn’t so great - the stock market was down, so investments were down, and on top of it someone broke into my car and stole my stereo, DVD/TV setup all while tearing up the inside of my car. Ugh, that’ll hit the ol’ expense book and will hinder the 4k […]

My car got broken into this weekend and they stole $1500 of stuff; did my insurance cover it?

Photo by: matangueroThis week I found myself fighting back the elusive CPU quota exceeded errors I was getting from Bluehost.com because I was getting a lot of hits from the Magic Quadrant of Personal Finance and “Why is it taboo to talk salary?” posts I tossed out this week.

Networth update January 1, 2008 (+2.02%)

Looks like I’m starting off the new year relatively clean; up 2.02% from December 2007. The house is still flailing a bit and my bet that Dodge & Cox (DODFX) would payoff for my new 401k allocation - The wifes 401k, on the other hand, stayed in REREX and the ol’ target fund TRRDX […]
