My review on Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki

Oh, where to start with this one; it is a fairly dead horse to beat, but I DID recently read it, and it DOES have to do with my blog as I’m posting anything that has to do with money, and it certainly DOES have to do with money ($7 specifically from the discount book […]

Wordpress PHP Contact Form v.2.0 error resolved -

Completely unrelated to my blog (aside from the fact I use the “contact” form) - but I figured I’d toss it out because I did some searching Google that a couple people posted concerning this error and my answer wasn’t in there -

Amazon Affiliates/Kontera content link ads widget review -

I tried. I REALLY did try to like the context links on my page. I thought it might be nice to have a few extra $$$ from the site by way of the context links, but I’m just not feeling it. If anyone was logged on between the hours of 3am and […]

How to have the cheapest Thanksgiving of your life!

So in my quest for frugality, my brain will occasionally come up with something that makes my family laugh.  These ideas did:
1.  Don’t have stuffing with all the works - have a large plat of sod from the front lawn.  It’s already paid for, and likely has some flavoring already added!

Why do poor people always win the lottery?

I got to thinking about this today after reading Hot Air’s post about how they had to pull a lottery game in the UK because the goal of the game was in reference to temperature; more specifically, negative numbers.  People were supposed to scratch the ticket and find if they had a lower number than […]

How much should I save per paycheck to reach my retirement goals?

This question is another tricky one because it depends on who is asking it. If you’re 18 and asking this question, well, I’d say you’re starting off right by asking, and if you are putting away 10% - even if you’re only making $20,000 per year, you’re saving $2,000/year and in 50 years you’d […]
