If You Resent Wealthy, Successful People You Will Never Be Wealthy And Successful
Tuesday, July 29th, 2008Bill Gates is such an asshole.
That’s not what I think, but a lot of people do. In fact the level of vitriol directed towards Bill Gates and Microsoft is really quite mind boggling considering that the man has given away tens of millions of dollars of his own money to charities funding AIDS prevention, agriculture [...]
How To Fund Your Child’s Retirement For Only Thirty Dollars A Month
Monday, June 9th, 2008Yes, that’s right. I just said that you can fund your child’s entire retirement for only thirty dollars a month. Notice I did not say that you can fund their education for only thirty dollars a month, I said you can fund their retirement. You are doubting me already, I can feel it.
Don’t.
There is [...]
I Went From Being $15,000 In The Hole To Being Debt Free In Six Months, And You Can Too!
Saturday, June 7th, 2008When I graduated from Broadcasting School I had fifteen thousand dollars in debt hanging over my head. The primary debt was student loans, a car loan and a sprinkling of credit card debt for good measure.

Being Kind Because You Can, You Can Afford It
Thursday, June 5th, 2008When you walk down the street and get stopped by a panhandler, what do you do? If you are like most people, you rush by as quickly as possible, avoiding eye contact. You don’t feel that person deserves any of your money, but you’re slightly embarrassed at your unwillingness to part with a few cents, [...]
How To Do What You Love And Why It’s Important
Saturday, May 31st, 2008Look around you. Look at your friends, family, and even your co-workers. How many of them would you say love going to work every day? How many of them do you believe finish every day with a sense of satisfaction and a feeling of joy?
Now ask yourself how many seem to be going through the [...]
The Seven Differences Between You And a Future Millionaire
Sunday, May 25th, 2008Everyone has the potential to be rich.

The difference between poor people and rich people is in their minds and how they think, not in their [...]
How To Stop Living Paycheck to Paycheck
Thursday, May 22nd, 2008Living paycheck to paycheck is no fun, but with the exception of a lucky few born into privilege we have all done it at some point, or several points in our lives. Unfortunately a lot of us get so used to living that way that we come to view it as “normal”, and in doing [...]
Poor People Suck At Living Like Rich People And Here’s Why:
Friday, May 16th, 2008This evening I was surfing around and came upon a blog known as The A-hole Blog. I must admit despite not being in total agreement with the guy, his blog is living up the the name. But the beauty of it is that even though he really is a real asshole, his writing is so [...]
Credit Cards Are Not the Devil
Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008Some people have an irrational fear of credit cards. They are firmly convinced that these little bits of plastic are somehow possessed by the devil himself. The reasoning is that because credit cards can lead people into trouble that the cards themselves are the problem.
Obviously this is not true. Blaming the plastic, or the company [...]
Debt Is a Prison, Don’t Get a Life Sentence
Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008In June 2007, exactly seven months ago, I was in debt to the tune of $15,000. That may not sound like much, but consider that my annual after tax income as a recent broadcasting school graduate, working in retail while looking for a “real” job, was a meagre $13,000. That means that my total debt [...]
