I have noticed a trend present in the comments section of blog postings across the blogosphere. Blog commenters spend a great deal of time discussing what is NOT said, instead of constructively evaluating what IS said. Based on the paradigm shift that Web 2.0 blogs have on the typical reader/writer roles, the reader gets the […]
You graduated from college, landed a good job, and have been diligently saving money for awhile now. Your car is getting old and pretty soon you are going to need a new one, but you also have the desire to be a homeowner. Should you buy a new house or a new car first? This […]
I heard someone mutter the latter yesterday morning and it got me to thinking… Does the general popularity of these phrases have anything to do with a society-wide deficiency of aspirations and lack of motivation? Each phrase by itself seems innocent enough, but when placed next to one another it draws a bigger, darker picture […]
We just purchased a brand new car (Honda Accord Coupe EX-L) on a credit card. You think we’re crazy? Think again. We instantly saved ourselves about $500 by paying with plastic.
