Vets, Tow Trucks, Busted Wheels and Emergency Funds
Well it’s been a rough month on the budget. The frugalmobile has over 150k on the odometer, over 30 MPG, and it’s ugly as can be. Unfortunately, it’s decided to fall apart. Problems abound and even with our extremely helpful and honest local mechanic, we were out $700 to fix the old sucker. Hopefully that’s the last repair bill and the faithful …
My new Resource Page is Live!
I’m going to keep it short, but I wanted to make sure the people following on RSS see the new content added to the Resource Page.

How I Traveled to Brazil on 1 Credit Card Bonus
Last year I finally got interested in the wonderful world of credit card hacking. It always sounded scammy before and hey, credit cards are bad right?

I know Turbotax (affiliate link) has had a tough PR year and certainly didn’t do themselves any favors. Not clearly spelling out the price increase for anyone with more complicated taxes, prior to them completely …
My New 401k and Strategy

The big lesson from Warren Buffett’s bet
Since this is a week for Buffett and Berkshire, now seemed like a good time to revisit the famous bet that Warren made with Ted Seides, CFA, and President / Co-CIO of Protégé Partners on who would win over 10 years – the S&P or a selection of 5 fund of funds chose by Protégé. The S&P has crushed them the past 7 years. …
Stealth Wealth and Badassity
Update: PhilosophicalEconomics did a fantastic post on the math behind Ronald’s portfolio and can you still do it today. One of my favorite kinds of stories popped up this week. I know it’s been covered in a lot of places, but I wanted to talk about it for a few minutes. I feel like I just found Mr. Money Mustache‘s long …
