I’ve been away from the blog for a month now, and that’s clearly not a good thing. The world of finance goes on, and so do my own personal finances. So what’s been keeping me so busy?
The the single best way I’ve found to cut food costs is to make a menu. The problem I always seem to have is actually sitting down to *make* the menu, not to mention that both I and the spouse aren’t exactly thrilled with dinner decisions or the cooking. But I’ve found a solution to both, and it’s made dinner time so much easier.
I know at least four millionaires. I’m pretty sure I know more, but I thought I’d outline those I know the most about. People aren’t exactly forthcoming with their money matters, so I’m having to speculate here, but I’m rather certain these four are loaded.
When trying to save money, it’s way to easy to fall into the cheap food trap. You know, the discount foods that often are over-processed, high in fat and low in fiber.

The beautiful monstrosity of a tube TV that had been keeping me happy passed away recently. It was an untimely event and quite against my money-saving-while-watching-tv timeline. I even wrote a post titled Why I Didn’t Buy An HDTV to show what my plans were for that 32″ not-ready-for-the-digital-age set. Oh, we were to have [...]
I own two cars, one is a cheap paid-for-in-cash ride that I use to get me to my commuter van, the other is a much newer used car, financed at a low rate through my credit union. The paid-for car has over 150,000 miles on it and the newer one has only 56,000. [...]
