Financial Advice From Wal-Mart? No Thanks.

Looks like Wal-Mart launched a new personal finance blog called “Make Your Dollar Stretch” hmmm, I think I’ll stick to the good finance blogs I know.

I had a pretty fun article get published over at lending club’s blog today, “Jedi Master Yoda’s Guide to Surviving A Recession”. I had fun writing it, you should check it out and leave your best Yoda inspired tip for surviving a recession.

Feeling Risk-Averse

I’ve been feeling very risk-averse lately. I have business money that I need to start deploying into projects, but I just can’t seem to pull the trigger. I think I want to wait until I have official word from the IRS that my payment plan offer gets accepted by them.

My business will be down to just myself and one other employee starting in a few weeks. It’s really been just two other employees part time for a while now, but now we’ll officially be down to just myself and one other person. This is good. I’ve been contracting out more and more work, and it works allot better. Plus, I still don’t trust myself enough to want to take on new employees at this point. My one other kid will be working full time this summer, which I think will be good for me. We get along well, and he is a fantastic worker.

Women Update

I had someone write on my facebook wall yesterday asking me for a update on my dating (or lack there of) life. I definitely haven’t been on any dates lately, but I do have my eye on a few girls I’ve been hanging out with lately. I don’t see anything happening anytime soon, but hey, it’s getting nicer out here in Seattle, it’s springtime, love is definitely in the air. Maybe I’ll catch a whiff…
