A few weeks back the grocery chain Loblaws announced it was cutting prices across the board. As a customer I’m ecstatic because I frequent Loblaws for my grocery needs. What a win situation for me. However with every winner there has to be a loser and who could that be? Unfortunately price cuts lead to price wars and the investor [...]
Some of the hot stocks this past year have been McDonald’s and Wal-mart. Both seemed to buck the trend when everyone else was losing money. Generally speaking revenue is an important figure when performing an analysis on a company like Wal-mart or McDonald’s. However when dealing with retailers there is an equally important figure that gives the revenue figure some [...]
Funemeployed is a term that I heard a few months back. Its based on the simple premise if you lose your job rather than finding a new one you spend your time doing activities you enjoy. You take your severance, savings and unemployment benefits and you take a very long weekend off. People golf, sail, pick their belly button lint [...]
Ah traveling is always a debatable topic amongst the frugal and personal finance enthusiasts. Travel abroad or stay local? Nice hotel or cheap hostel? Eat out or picnic? Pay for entertainment or look for free alternatives? These are all questions that people try to find the answers to when they travel. Now the key to these answers lies in how [...]
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 [...]

Due to my little break its been a while since I’ve posted a net worth update. I hadn’t posted an update for June or July so both will be included in this single update. As well I feel its necessary to do a midyear review to get some insight into my progress thus far.
It’s also fitting that I do this [...]
The deed is done. I’ve gone from being a single to being a set. The wedding was a blast and everyone had a good time. I can honestly say that it was worth every dime.
After the wedding we had Sunday off and headed to Hawaii for the honeymoon. The honeymoon cost us a pretty penny but I definitely came [...]
Unfortunately wedding plans have gotten in the way of writting articles for the blog. I’ve decided to take an official hiatus until after the honeymoon. I really wanted to continue to write but alas it will have to wait. Looking for regular posting to start at the beginning of August. I will try and keep everyone updated though with some [...]
Well it’s been a few weeks and I think I finally have the design I want. Its simple and clutter free. I like the dark to light contrast. I’ve tabbed most of my side bar widgets. I added some life to the subscribe section so if you aren’t already a subscriber then why don’t you head on over and [...]
I know I haven’t been posting lately and I’m sorry. I hope to be back and running next week with some posts. I’ve gotten a bit side track with the theme for the site. I’ve implemented a new theme and have been busy alerting the css to get a look I like. I’m finally getting close to being done. I [...]
