That's an amazing story. I'm very glad to see you helped out. I watched the news coverage all night last night.

Re: A Guide To Setting And Reaching A Net Worth Goal

This is a great post. I'm new to this blog and you really seem to have a good grasp on figures. I'm 24 and just now starting to learn how to really save and build wealth. (I've also started a blog to archive personal achievements and seek feedback along the way). Good Advice.

That's an awesome list. I am new to blogging and I haven't even heard of half of this stuff.

Re: 10 Softwares that’ll free you from Microsoft’s evil Hands

I Love VLC Media player. Such an awesome alternative to Windows Media. It's managed to play so many files that Windows media player could not.

I'm new to this site so I'm not sure if you've mentioned it or not, but google sketchup is another amazing free program for creating 3D models.

Re: New Window for a New Link?

Matt Wolfe — Mon, 13 Aug 2007 23:29:04 -0000

This is a good piece of advice. I never really thought about it before. I always have my links open in new windows on my blog but I think I will change that. When I'm reading a blog and there is a link that interests me, I typically right-click on the link and open it in a new tab. I guess this is probably pretty common with most bloggers...

Re: Market Update, August 14, 2007

Matt Wolfe — Wed, 15 Aug 2007 01:13:34 -0000

I did the exact same thing. I went on a vacation to Colorado about 3 weeks ago. When I left the market was still climbing day by day. I didn't check my portfolio the entire time I was there. Needless to say, when I got home, I was less than pleased.

This an awesome list. I'm definitely going to try some of these.

Re: 100 More things you can make yourself

Matt Wolfe — Sun, 19 Aug 2007 19:19:46 -0000

These are some great lists. I'm really impressed with how much work went in to these. Lots and lots of research. I'm thinking about making the mozzarella sticks tonight. mmm mmm

Re: Personal Finance Boils Down To Just Two Things…

Matt Wolfe — Thu, 23 Aug 2007 22:44:24 -0000

I could not have said that better myself. I have read so many investing books and there are so many conflicting points of view out there. The only real way to learn about investing and what works is to read and research and then learn from your successes and failures. And if one method is successful once, that doesn't always mean it will continue to be successful. You just never know. Excellent Post.

Re: Thursday’s Thrifty Tips: Keeping cool when it’s hot outside.

Matt Wolfe — Mon, 27 Aug 2007 19:02:31 -0000

Great Tips. I love leaving my windows open, wearing shorts, a tank top and sandals, and relaxing with a cool towel. I take semi-cold showers too so that when I get out, I'm not already sweating...

That's great that you got a new TV. I've been wanting to upgrade to HD for quite some time now but haven't brought myself to spend the money. One of these days I will do it.

Re: 12 Great Reasons to Visit the Library

Matt Wolfe — Wed, 05 Sep 2007 05:22:35 -0000

Great advice. I have a library that's literally walking distance from my house and I think I've only been there once. I need to get over there more often. I have a wish list on Amazon about 100 books long and I can probably go get a few at a time over at the library.

Re: The One Hour Project: Clean Out Your Media Collection

Matt Wolfe — Wed, 05 Sep 2007 05:33:54 -0000

This is a great idea. I doubt it will only be a one hour project for me though. I'm one of those guys that has a thousand dvds. I used to collect them and lately I've been realizing that I only watch like 15 of them or so over and over. I've probably got a good amount of money on my shelves that I can use to pay down my truck or something...

Re: Toys for Lunch

Matt Wolfe — Wed, 05 Sep 2007 14:21:36 -0000

That is some great advice seeing as I am in the same boat that you were... I eat out on pretty much a daily basis and it's usually just a salad or something. I'm going to look in to some of these gadgets because they may be very cost effective for me as well.

This is a great post! I struggle with breakfast every morning, usually just waiting until lunch to eat. These all sound great. The Swiss Breakfast especially sounds quick, easy, and delicious.

Re: how to become a billionaire

Matt Wolfe — Fri, 12 Oct 2007 01:04:32 -0000

That's an interesting article. I don't quite believe that those guys can't shoot lasers beams from their eyes. If they can't already, I'd say they are darn close. With the technology they have available to them, it will happen.

On a less serious note, I do agree that other countries are having and economical revolution. They may be doing it through standards, that in the U.S., may not be considered ethical but nonetheless, that is their culture and, like in the U.S., the ones that take the risks are the ones that are seeing the rewards. I also agree that it's very interesting to think about all the possibilities to build wealth. So many people seem to think that you need to be an internet genius or a real estate mogul to grow your wealth but there are so many, less than glamorous, jobs out there that are making people filthy, stinking rich.

Great Post...

Those are some great tips. Unfortunately I don't have the 401K option. I've had the high yield savings forever. I'm considering moving all my monthly expenses to a credit card now. That's a good idea.

Thanks so much for the link. I'm a huge fan of your site and I love seeing bloggers that I look up to enjoying my articles.

Wow. Great list of sites. Thanks for including mine. Making people feel important is a great thing and it's definitely something I even need to work on. I blog about things I want to be better about and this definitely something that can use work.

And that's a really impressive list of carnivals you were involved in!

Re: 8 steps to a six figure career

Matt Wolfe — Thu, 01 Nov 2007 18:09:55 -0000

This really is a great post. I love you advice. It's not an easy way to make money or something people even necessarily want to hear but it's the truth and it's completely honest.

On a side note, your 20s sound like what I'm going through now. 60-80 weeks making approx. 35k/year. Not fun. I'm still in school though (at night), I'm in a big city and I'm majoring in Finance (which hopefully will prove to be beneficial).

Great Post.

Re: Make the Most Out of Best Buy

Matt Wolfe — Thu, 01 Nov 2007 18:30:13 -0000

Great Post. I find that both circuit city and amazon are much better places to buy electronics. I find myself at Best Buy often though because there is one every two miles here in San Diego. I've always had good experiences with them other than the fact that I can usually find the products somewhere else cheaper.
