I have a guest post up today over at Consumerism Commentary. Check out a pretty personal post about some of the lessons I’ve learned about money, investing, and loss.

I’ve identified a few times when my confidence seems to absolutely [...]

Thank God for the Twin XL. My feet don’t stick over now! I finally bit the bullet and got a decent mattress. I’ve think I’ve figured out why I have such a difficult time spending money on certain things, but more [...]

wrote this wed. night, forgot to post…
Although I started this week with a nasty head cold, I’m starting to feel a bit better tonite. I had some twitter suggestions on getting over a cold ranging from tea to whisky. In the end I tried going for a late night run last night and that seemed [...]
