This is an Other Side of the Fence article, in which I take the opposite viewpoint of a popular idea and/or debate a specific thought.
A while back Matt at Debt Free Adventure wrote a post about buying in bulk it was titled: Save Money by Buying Sale Items in Bulk. Now as I looked at the image of...
STOP THINKING ABOUT MONEY! It's the easiest way to make it. :)
Dwelling, worrying, planning, fretting, pacing, exhausting... these are some of the many words that come to mind when I think about money too much. You plan, then you plan some more, then you think about hypothetical situations, then perhaps you rehash the idea, then you think...
Have you ever taken the IQ test? In my experience "Smart" people absolutely love the IQ test. They can see how much they know and see how smart they are compared to other people. This, of course, results in them rubbing it in your face. For this very reason I've avoided taking the IQ test my...
I'm sitting alone writing this post. It's 9pm and everyone has cleared out of the internet cafe to make their ways to the bars and clubs of nearby Waikiki. I do my best work alone, I can concentrate, there aren't distractions, and I can choose my own music. My brain can relax and I can think...

Today I did something either really smart, or really dumb. I decided I'd like to roll the dice with my finances and stretch myself a little thin. I realize I'm not going to be technically "poor," but I'll definitely be cash poor.
I had about $3,500 in cash savings and decided I wanted less of a cushion, so...
Much like changing clothes, we often change careers and direction in life. Each time we switch we have to project a different image depending on the job, career, or business we pursue.
