Let’s face it. We are all liars. We sometimes say things we don’t mean for the sake of saving face. I was always told honesty is the best policy, but I’m afraid that simply isn’t true. Sometimes ya gotta lie. And here are a few situations where I have.. Babies: Am I the only person [...]

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. [...]
Murphy Sucks
I hate, hate, hate Murphy. Like seriously hate him. If you don’t know, I’m talking about Murphy’s Law. You know, If something can go wrong, it will. Unfortunately, I experienced this the other day. My bike was stolen. Like straight up jacked. It was the first time I’ve ever had anything taken from me. I [...]
Professional athletes are overpaid
I was riding in the car with a friend a while back when they said something along the lines of “Professional athletes are overpaid.” While I don’t necessarily disagree with that statement (Alex Rodriguez), I can’t share the same sentiment. Yes, they may make more money in one game, than some Americans will make in [...]
A little extra cash flow never hurts.
I’m stealing this idea from My Pretty Pennies, so I better give her credit. You rock my face off girl! I’m addicted to making money. There is something about being productive that is rewarding, especially when you get paid for it. When I’m not working, I’m figuring out ways I can do something I enjoy [...]

In previous blog posts, and twitter updates, I have mentioned I am a volunteer Young Life (YL) leader. Young Life is a non-profit christian high school outreach [...]

Last night I spent some time with some friends and it made my little ninja heart sad. Only one of them knows that I love finances, and none of them knew I have a financial blog. There was one continuing theme that seemed to reoccur throughout the night. These people are stressed. A little background [...]
Dear Debt Punchers, quit being so awesome!
I freakin’ love you guys. Like seriously, I have a huge crush on all my readers. You have consistently provided solid feedback, comments, and suggestions. On more than one occasion I have proposed a personal dilemma, only to have you PF’ers beat some financial sense in to me. It started when I was having a [...]
Don’t tell my girlfriend, but I’m in love with Craig.
I’m gonna let you in on a little secret, but you have to promise you wont tell my girlfriend. I’m in love with Craig. I first met Craig about four years ago in college. We met via a mutual friend and it has been love lust at first sight. He has been there when I [...]
Personal finance, not today.
Let’s turn down the lights, turn on the music, and pop open a nice cold can of Dr. Pepper, and get to know one another on a more intimate level. I think it would be a great idea for us PF bloggers to all share some random facts about ourselves. Here’s why… I came up [...]
