DISQUS

The niche will stick around as long as there is buyers and sellers on both sides. Look at big oil companies, there are BETTER options out there, but the the money will flow till the well is dry, and paid content isn't dry yet - maybe starting, but far from dead...

That's a good list Wild1! Thanks for the inclusion!

I do #16 far too often. I think that's the time when I feel like I NEED to shop. I need to cut back on that one for sure! My wife always falls for #19 also, it's a crafty tactic that clearly works!

It's funny how many of us PF bloggers came from frugal beginnings... The microwave story is a classic. I have got to admit, you got me on that one. :) We had one, but come to think of it, we got it in about 1980 and my mother STILL HAS THE SAME ONE! ;)

It really is nuts what you find you may have to go through in situations like that. We just had our yearly "benefits fair" where my wife and I reallly sat down and discussed what we needed and for what amount. We're sticking to the basic plan because it's that or a one that covers more "out of network" places. I think we're alright in current one. Are you just on your standard plan at work?

Woot woot! :) Those guys sound pretty awesome! :)

I'm actually looking to do some landscaping myself this summer. My front yard looks horrendous and I need to either get my landscaping shoes on, or find someone ELSE to put them on! :)

Have you ever heard of people stopping their engines while driving at red lights to save gas? How about turning off the engine to drive down mountain passes? Yea, I've heard them both and I don't think either do any good! :0

I've actually considered this a couple times myself, but found that I didn't travel enough to justify it. I get around my city pretty well and know the ins and outs nicely. I think it'd be a huge benefit to those that travel a lot or drive for their business, but I still get the itch to get one about once or twice a year....

Kudos on the cash! Mine came in earlier than expected, my SS# ends in 26 so we weren't supposed to get it till the 9th, but it came in on the 5th!

Thank goodness you caught the leg clot too. I have a friend at work that his wife went through the exact same thing. You don't hear about them often, but they can be sticklers!

thanks for the inclusion!

thanks for the link love again - Amazing how many ways there are out there to scrape a few $$$ together, eh?

Yea, it is strange that there aren't MORE classes out there like this one. I wrote a post about how I think we need a mandatory financial education course across the nation. How ideal would that be? It'd help our young kids know the value of money and how to spend it properly, which would in turn help the economy out long term as money would be properly spent and saved the likes of which we clearly don't see now...

Thanks for the nod. :)

I like it - and agree to a point; but at the same time it has made me very aware of what and where my money is going. I think it can take a huge tangent when you start to say WHAT is defined in it. If you keep it simple, I think Flexo might have mentioned it months ago in a post I read, net worth is what you're worth if you had to sell everything you own right this minute. If you did, how much money would you have?

For me it is more of a bookmark on my financial "novel"...

Yea, depending on what you do for a living, bilingual pieces can really help out on SO many levels and can be applied to 1000s of different careers. Pointing it out on a resume is always beneficial and I'd argue should be near the top of the resume depending on your career choice... good post.

First time reader - I agree with R.K's book on the asset/liability piece, but a lot of it is just fluff and encouragement; albeit a lot of people like it, it doesn't always help put $ in the bank. :)

Good article - interested to read more -
