Another week has passed and this time I covered some money saving tips from a teacher (my wife). We also had another increase in our net worth for the month of August. Finally I ask people to take a closer look at the extended warranties being offered instead of blindly turning them down.

This week I looked at whether price wars make for a good investment. I also had some follow up thoughts on the funemployed and how it will lead to the fall of society as we know it. I know its a bit dramatic but its how I feel about these sort of things. Finally I looked at how hindsight [...]

This week I announced my return after the hiatus I took to get married and go on my honeymoon to Hawaii. It had been a while since I posted a net worth update so posted my numbers for both June and July as well as a midyear review.  As my first post back in on the personal finance scene I [...]

This week I responded to a post by Four Pillars about “What Frugal Means to Me“.  I continue my quest for the right credit card.  I’ve also started looking into refinancing my mortgage. I emailed my mortgage broker a series of questions to get the ball rolling.

Well another week has come and gone. This week I came to realize that tax software isn’t as idiot proof as I thought.  You should at least do some of the research yourself.   I also got some bad news that one of my credit cards felt it necessary to cut my limit.   However I’m a bit happier after the significant [...]

This week I did a review of my credit score and what I can do to make it better. I also looked at a goal that I failed miserably and the steps I can take so that I don’t fail it again.

This week I asked the question “What Is Cheap?“. I also started a corresponding thread on Canadian Money Forums to garner some additional opinions on cheapness. Unfortunately this was the only article I wrote this week. It seems birthday week has thrown me off my rhythm but I’ll be working hard to get going again this week.

This week I put a plan into action to accomplish one of my financial goals and I’m contemplating getting rid of my TD GM Visa card.  I also turned 30 this week and came to realize that my personal finance [...]

I wrote about my self repair experience with my washing machine. I also manage to come up with my first rule to investing. On the net worth front, I saw nearly an 5% increase due to the upswing in the markets this week. Overall it was a good week for me.
