As you may or may not have heard, GM recently declared bankruptcy this past Monday to become the fourth largest bankruptcy in U.S. business history. The General obviously had way too much debt on the books. Over $172 billion worth!
But what’s the problem? Well, GM should have gone bankrupt much sooner than Monday. It should [...]

This really makes me mad! I have lost respect for most car sales people (yes, there are woman car sales people). I get a phone call on Friday from a younger coworker of mine asking if she could use me as a reference. I asked her “for what” and she said that she needed five [...]

Just got an email from FNBO Direct saying that they’re dropping rates to 1.65%. I’m glad that the online bank is being transparent but there are other online banks that offer better rates. Dollar Savings Direct is currently at 2.00% and Heartland Bank Direct is at 2.30% 2.10%.

I blogged about this contest last year and the contest has now come to an end with a winner announced! Kristen, who was saving for nursing school, was voted the winner. Congratulations to Kristen for saving the most money.
Stay tuned for an interview with Kristen as well as financial expert Liz Pulliam Weston.

Reports from CNN today state that Jesus Christ returned to, of all places, Hell, Michigan at approximately 6 am EST. He arrived in a bright light, trumpets blaring, and a legion of angels following according to accounts from five of the 266 in the city. He took all the Christians of the world with him [...]

The TurboTax First Day of Spring Giveaway has come and gone! As promised, the winners are going to be announced today. There were only 5 entries so everyone had a 40% chance to win. That’s a whole lot better than trying to win the lottery! See what happens when you miss out.

You’ve seen those annoying freecreditreport.com ads on TV, haven’t you? I’ve always said that it was a scam because it’s not really free. You have to sign up for a monthly $14.95 credit monitoring service to get it for “free”.
I’ve also always said that annualcreditreport.com is the only government-established website for getting your credit reports [...]

I ran across this today. I thought it was funny and it gets the point across. The beggar’s net worth is higher than everyone else because he doesn’t have any debt! That’s really sad, isn’t it? I was in that same situation, too. Had a negative net worth because of all my debt. Now I’m [...]

Unfortunately, Joe did not reply to my email as the winner of Day One of the Presidential Giveaway so I am picking a new winner.

Woo hoo! I just e-filed my 2008 federal and state taxes! Actually. It’s not a woo hoo because I hate paying taxes. I’m just glad I’m done. I’m getting a refund of $85! That’s exactly how I like it. Why, you ask? Because that means I’m not loaning the government interest-free money throughout the year.
Remember, [...]

Time to spring forward! Don’t forget to set your clock forward one hour tonight so you’re not late for church tomorrow!
