One of my favorite things about authoring this blog is getting to read the various emails people send me from time to time. Yesterday, I received a simple, one question email…
I am fairly new to being financially savy and PF blogs. I just wanted to get your opinion. At what age/income should you open a [...]

Net Worth: March 2010
I’ve got a crush on the last 30 days, because my NW soared. I want to fly like an eagle, I want to run through the halls of my high school, I want to shake my money maker (those are all song lyrics in case you didn’t catch on). My net worth is on the [...]
I save like a G
I love today’s title because it holds double meaning. I originally meant I save like a G (as in Gangsta). If you didn’t know, I’m the ghettoest (is that a word?) personal finance blogger this side of the Mississippi Milky Way. I love rapping, hip hop music, making beats, and learning about compound interest. If [...]
Net Worth: February 2010
I would like to officially welcome my Net Worth to 2010. I have some ground rules for the NW for the remaining 11 months…GO UP!!!! It’s all about growth baby, not to be consfused with “growing babies” (baby ninja’s aren’t coming till 2050). Let’s see how I’ve done…
Checking Account(s): $1,877, -$2,483. My checking accounts (INGdirect [...]
Net Worth: January 2010
I popped a cap in 2009’s a$$. It was an incredible year, increasing my net worth over $30K. December, however, was a not so exciting. Oh wait, YES IT WAS. I got engaged, but with engagement comes expenses, and with expenses come a less than ridiculous net worth growth. Let’s take a look…
Checking Account(s): $4,361, [...]
Ninja Rapping
Oh my gosh!!!! I totally heart rapping. I think if I had to quit being a special agent, I would make the career change to the music industry. I might be the whitest kid in the neighborhood, but don’t let that fool you. I’m a true gangster…a gangster that loves personal finance that is.
As the [...]
My 401K is gonna be pissed!
I made a pretty impulsive move yesterday. I decided to reduce my 401K contributions from 8% of my gross salary to 5%. *Gasp* Yes, that does mean I am going to have less in my retirement accounts, but don’t worry, I have a ninja-riffic plan in the works. If you read my post on Monday, [...]
There’s more to life than a spreadsheet
I was having a conversation with my financial analyst buddy about saving/investing. He’s the person that convinced me to start a Roth IRA and ultimately is responsible for my PF addiction. I wrote a post a couple months back that laid out my retirement game plan. I essentially calculated I should easily be able to [...]
Net Worth: Dec. ‘09
November is in the books, and daddy likes what he sees. How’s that one song go? Oh, that’s right…”Moving on up.” I use to despise tracking my NW because being in the red depressed me, but I’ve totally become obsessed with it. Watching that red dot move up each month totally turns me on. Let’s [...]
Wife = asset or liability?
So I have this great plan in my head: Get married and get rich. They go hand in hand right? Okay, I know it may not be all gravy, but I still can’t wait for the days of being a DINK (Dual Income No Kids). I’ve got a gameplan in my head, but I wanted [...]
