Should Parents Pay For College Education

A college education has, for a large percentage of society, become the de rigueur entry-level degree. "Should parents pay for college education" is a question where the answer is always, "it depends."

7 Steps In Overcoming Rejections In Job Search

7 Steps In Overcoming Rejections In Job Search

Rejections during job search are disappointing, to be sure. Nobody likes to be told that they were qualified candidates, but the management has decided to go in another direction. In this environment, however, rejections are common-place through out the job search and interview process. After the initial disappointment wears off ...

How to Host a Dinner Party On a Budget

How to Host a Dinner Party On a Budget

Hosting a dinner party is always fun, but right now I need my get-togethers to be budget-friendly as well. Remember when I made crab cakes? That was for a group of 5 or 6 friends. The crab cakes were delicious and everyone loved them, but, crabs are expensive! Two pounds ...

Hair, Hair, Everywhere – the Recession Edition

I wrote a hair post in both 2007 and 2008, so I suppose it's only appropriate to continue the tradition in 2009! This post is dedicated to recession's impact on hair budgets. The recession is a major reason why I've been neglecting my hair a bit during these past several months: ...

Pure Altruism - Does it Exist?

Pure Altruism - Does it Exist?

Every time the holidays come around, feel-good human-interest stories surface. This is a time to give to others, help those in need, and realize that the world is not as cutthroat or as competitive as we may believe. But is it true? Can people be purely altruistic? The authors of Superfreakonomics (the ...

The Price of Addiction To Argentine Tango

The Price of Addiction To Argentine Tango

It's happened. I fell for the sultry dance, hard. (I even made its own category!) I leave class with a big smile on my face. I read Argentine tango forums and blogs. I fall asleep thinking of boleos and molinetes. I'm not sure how my wallet feels about the possible financial ...

Old Cars: Unsung Heroes of Personal Finance

Old Cars: Unsung Heroes of Personal Finance

New Cars are shiny, gleaming, loaded with the latest technology and features. New cars get the big commercials on TV, where they swerve confidently in snow storms, zoom down idyllic country lanes, and maybe even dance a little to the sound of a state-of-the-art in-car sound system near a trendy ...

How To Practice Safe and Responsible Credit Card Use

Wait, you mean you never had a credit card education class in school? Okay, me neither. The quality of education these days! But there's no reason that high schools or colleges shouldn't offer a class like this. After all, credit card education isn't an awkward topic like the other type of ...

Experience, Not Stuff

Experience, Not Stuff

I've decided to make the above my mantra to live by. It'll be hard, because I like nice things (ex: shoes), but... Guess which of the following I remember the most? (a) A $100 leather jacket purchased in Buenos Aires, that I've worn ONCE in 3 years. (b) A $45 hour-long horse ride on the coastline of ...

The Man Gets The Check?

The Man Gets The Check?

When CB and I go out to dinner, we usually split the check. Other times, one of us would pick up the whole tab. I've noticed something interesting - when we ask for the check, sometimes the waiter/waitress would place the check towards CB, clearly in his direction or by his arms (on the ...

Personal Finance

Enemy of Debt is hosting a Money Challenge for the month of March. There will be prizes, but the greatest prize of all is gaining control over your finances, right? Right? :D

Eking Out a Living found a job! Congratulations to her, especially in this job environment.

Frugal Dad talks about the art of saying “no” – to yourself, to others, to the wrong opportunities, etc.

Money Honey in SF‘s friend of a friend (of a friend?) won a $2 million home in San Francisco. OR, he can take $1.6 million in cash. What would you do? If it were me, I’d be gone with my cash so fast…

Do you know Mike Aubrey? He’s the real estate agent host of Real Estate Interventions on HGTV. And, he left a comment on my post! According to him, the 3rd season of the Real Estate Interventions will incorporate Sabrina’s staging prowess to help homeowners sell quicker. They’d still need to lower their prices though. (It could be his personal assistant or a blog outreach spokesperson, but I prefer to think it was Mr. Aubrey himself, and my first online contact with a real estate celebrity.)

Debt Free U provides online education on money. Check out the Debt Free U – Financial Literacy Resources page.

Contests & Giveaways

Just a few more days left for the $100 Amazon Gift Card contest on this blog. Imagine what you can buy with $100 on Amazon. It ends March 3, so hurry and enter!

Also, tomorrow I will announce the biggest ever giveaway on Well-Heeled Blog. This is going to be a good great amazing one. Hint: $300. Cash.
