This is a knife.
No, this hasn’t been transformed into a site about Bowie Knives and odd Australians caught out of their element in New York.
Sometimes, the “knife” that you use to cut expenses just isn’t big enough. Sometimes you have to look at your expenses and say “This is a knife!”
Desperate times call for desperate [...]
Anyone with any money (and some without) has a bank account. And chances are that you’ve experienced a fee or charge at some point in time.
MSN Money has a great article on the rising cost of Fees and Charges at Banks and the sneaky ways that they are getting into the pockets of even the [...]
If you’ve ever had a plumbing problem, you might have an idea of where I’m coming from. What began as a stopped up sink in my bathroom became quite the little project.
The sink has been a little slow since my Wife and I moved into our house. It’s always drained eventually and we just haven’t [...]
Little known to me, Wal*Mart is giving stuff away every day. Ok, it’s only samples, but it’s still free. And the variety changes fairly regularly. Today for instance, there are Contact lenses, Antiperspirant, Advil PM, Always Clean, Poise with Wings, and Swiffer Dusters. I’ve been signing up for a few here and there. Mostly stuff [...]

One [...]
Let this serve as a warning to all you college bound people this year. If you do nothing else with your college career, do not do these things.
This one is the most important. Avoid credit card debt like the plague. The less of it you have, the more fun stuff you can [...]
Fast Company has a very interesting article(via Slashdot) on the CFL, or Compact Fluorescent Lightbulb. Until reading this article, I was under the impression that while the bulbs were more efficient than a regular lightbulb, they were more or less for the extreme conservationist.
In fact, according to the article, one CFL lasts the lifetime of [...]
We cancelled our cable in early June. The extra $40 a month has helped with our regular bills as my wife has been on maternity leave. August will be the toughes month to get through as her regular paychecks won’t resume until September.
The funny thing about cancelling cable is that I don’t necessarily miss it. [...]
