Personal Finance Review – Open Enrollment Edition
November 18, 2007
Can you see into the future? Sometimes I feel like that’s what I’m trying to do when I setup my benefits during open enrollment every year.

Personal Finance Review – Save While You Can Edition
November 11, 2007
Oh to be young again! As I visited my Alma Mater this weekend to cheer on the soccer team in an important post-season game I couldn’t help but catch some of the conversations of the students around me in the stands. Their plans and concerns are much the same as mine were ten years ago […]

October 28, 2007
When you’re healthy, you can forget how bad it feels to be sick and how fortunate you are to be well.

I don’t remember the last time I was this sore! We spent all weekend putting in a Pavestone patio with the help of my wife’s parents (thanks guys!). We hit a few roadblocks along the way but managed to overcome them and now have a new back patio! We still have one more step left […]
Personal Finance Review – Working Too Hard Edition
September 30, 2007

As our son becomes more mobile, we’re spending more time in our backyard chasing him around. This has given us the idea of installing a new patio behind our house. The current plan is to use the Pavestone system to lay a 13 x 16 patio. Never having done this before, we headed to Home […]
Personal Finance Review – No New Shoes Edition

I hate shopping and I hate spending money. Of course this means when something I own breaks or falls apart I’m not very happy because I have to go out and buy another one! I own one pair of dress shoes that are unfortunately on the decline. The soles have been coming off of the work […]
