Freakin’ Frugal Fruitcake
Yo, yo, yo people. Hope your weekend was equally as unproductive as mine I’ve got a fever and the only cure is more cowbell money. I’m a freakin frugal fruitcake (take that alliteration)! My first week back from my workcation and I’m stressed. I forgot how expensive it is to have friends, eat [...]
I’m an idiot
I’m freakin’ stupid. Not only am I stupid, but I’m also $180 poorer. On Saturday I pulled my car in to my parking space. The car in the space next to mine was about half way in to my spot so I had to pull super close to a fence on the other side [...]
Who invented babies
Seriously who invented babies, or better yet, who invented the desire to have babies? A while back I wrote an article about the cost of having a kid. Recently, Budgets are Sexy posted up a little article, discussing children becoming a part of his future. The article reminded me of a conversation I had with [...]
The dreaded third pay check
For those of us that get paid every two weeks, we face an epic battle, that others do not. For us, managing a budget is no easy task. Ten months of the year, things are just fine, but when March and October come around, my whole world turns upside down…I get an extra paycheck.

I’ll keep it nice [...]
Bill Splitting 101
I went to breakfast with one of my best friends, his wife, and my girlfriend yesterday. We ate a delicious meal at Maltby Cafe in the Seattle area. I paid for mine and the girlfriend’s meal, and my friend paid for his wife’s and his meal.
Splitting a bill does not always run as smoothly as [...]
Confession: I pay installment fees
Yup, that’s right. I knowingly throw away $5 a month in installment fees. I pay my car insurance with my credit card, and every time I do, I get hit with the stupid installment fee. The fee is lame and I have options to avoid paying it, but I don’t. I know, WTF?!
Here are three [...]
Get rid of that darn storage unit
I was helping my girlfriend move stuff from her place in to a storage unit tonight and couldn’t help but think “Whoever started the storage business is a genius.” When it comes down to it, you pay someone to put junk in a closet for an often undefined length of time. I see the benefit [...]
