Below I've highlighted some of the questions and answers I found interesting. If you'd...
I was just over at the YNAB (You need a budget) website and noticed they offer a free budget book for anyone interested in starting a budget. Granted I'm sure they want you to also buy their product, but the book is a great primer for those looking to start budget building.

For less than the cost of a McDonalds "value" meal I was able to experience some of the best Oahu has to offer.

When I see a fork in the road I make a decision, and when one of those forks leads to a dead end, my decision becomes quite simple. Today I made a decision to quit my job because I saw a fork in the road that had two options - a dead end or me taking my leave....
It's been 2011 for approximately 12 hours and not much has changed... yet, but this year is going to be great. I'm not sure about you, but 2010 was a year for me that was simply okay. I lived in Hawaii for about three quarters of the year, launched Planting Dollars at the beginning of the year...
Interested in getting pictures of money and coins without having to pay royalty fees? I have a collection available that I've taken that you can use absolutely free! View them in the slideshow below via flickr.
