It’s a good thing the phrase “You are what you eat” isn’t true, otherwise I would be a french fry filled burrito… But I did hear something the other day that I think holds a little more truth. Someone told me if you average out the income of your five closest friends, your income is probably [...]

What do you self insure?
If you’re like me you pay a pretty penny each month for insurance. Health, dental, vision, car, life, renters, it seems like the policies never stop. Although I don’t mind paying for the peace of mind, I’d be lying if I pretended I was excited about the expenses. This is why I have a goal [...]
I think I’m sexist.
There are two things women are better than men at: Peeing sitting down and having babies. That’s it. Okay not really, I just was trying to get your attention. Seriously though, I think I might be quasi-sexist. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a “women are inferior to men” sexist, but a “there are certain [...]
Are you a serial upgrader
So Mom Ninja rocked my socks off two days ago with a freakin’ awesome wedding present. A new TV! She had been tracking them for a while and when she saw a killer deal on a Samsung 46″ LCD TV, marked down over $400, she jumped on it like a fat kid jumps on cake. [...]
What are your skillz?
As I promised yesterday, I’ll be writing about my various Ninja skills that help save me some coin. You may think Ninjas are only good for things like breaking a 2×4 in half with their head, but you are wrong. We are actually quite useful. I’m always trying to figure out ways to become more [...]
San Diego hates me
Okay, maybe I’m being a little dramatic. San Diego doesn’t hate me, but it definitely hates my income. And if you live in San Diego, it hates your income too. I love playing around with Personal Finance calculators and this one does something interesting. It takes your current income in your current hometown and then [...]
Do you upgrade?
As I type this post, I’m sitting amongst the lowest of the low. The scum of the earth. The outcasts. That’s right. I’m flying coach. Gasp! Let’s be real, flying first class is pretty awesome. Not only do they enjoy a couple of inches of extra legroom, but they also have the luxury of having [...]
Ungrateful Ninja…
I went out to dinner with some friends the other night. Yeah, believe it or not, I actually have friends! One of them is a pretty consistent reader/commenter here on PDITF (shout out to MattyIce). We were talking about some of my recent blog posts when he said, “Ninja, you are sooo good looking and [...]
Do we really need china?
Gentlemen, I have some words of wisdom to share with you: Pick and chose your battles wisely. I am no relationship expert, but I have definitely learned a few things. Particularly, when to wave the white flag and admit defeat. Getting married is a pretty humbling experience. I am constantly reminded that life is not [...]
You gotta put yourself out there…
I’m a total networking whore. Something about meeting new people is exciting to me. I’ve never been a shy person, but recently I’ve been shamelessly whoring myself out to just about everyone I know. As you’re all aware, Girl Ninja and myself are about to start apartment hunting for our first place. It’s really exciting, [...]
