Personal Finance Review – Job Review Edition
June 14, 2007
As a manager of a group at work, I’ve been tasked with doing mid-year reviews for my team. I find it a bit frustrating that I have to spend hours of my time putting together documents that don’t really add any value in our company. Everyone gets a 2.5 – 3.5% raise at the end […]
Personal Finance Review – Summer Vacation Edition
June 10, 2007
I’m counting down the days until our summer vacation! Our big event last summer was having a baby so it will be our first vacation in a while. We’re headed to a warm sandy beach where I won’t have to think about work for a second. I can’t wait! I’m looking for people who are […]
Personal Finance Review – Speeding Ticket Edition
June 7, 2007
I paid a speeding ticket yesterday; set me back $119.50, ouch! Not only did I have to pay all that money, I was delinquent in paying the ticket so the state had revoked my driver’s license. Now I have to mail in documents proving I paid and request they renew my license, which will cost […]
Personal Finance Review – Car Seat Edition
June 3, 2007
Babies cost money! We had to buy a new convertible car seat for our little guy since he outgrew his first car seat. Installing it was a pain; it would be neat if someone had a website where people could upload videos of how they installed their specific brand and model of car seat. The […]

Personal Finance Review – Backup Your Data Edition
May 27, 2007
During the course of my financial housekeeping this weekend I saved an older version of a spreadsheet over top of a new one. The mistake set me back hours & hours of work, which could have been avoided if I regularly backed up my data. I do have another copy of the spreadsheet but it’s […]
Personal Finance Midweek Review – PayPal Reports Edition
May 24, 2007
PayPal has new reporting features that allow users to get a good overview of all their online financial activity for a specified time period. I use PayPal for the majority of my online transactions so I was eager to try out the new reports when I saw them announced today. The report I looked at […]
Personal Finance Week in Review – Expensive Haircut Edition
May 20, 2007
We took our little guy to get his first haircut last weekend. It was a fun experience, at least until the lady gave us the bill. I couldn’t believe it cost $12 to cut a baby’s hair! He wasn’t in the chair more than 5 minutes; at that rate hairdressers could make $144 an hour […]
Personal Finance Midweek Review – Merger & Acquisition Edition
May 17, 2007
Every time I turn on the financial news it seems like there is another corporate merger or acquisition going on. Reuters just agreed to a buyout by Thomson that would put it ahead of Bloomberg in market share as a provider of financial data, news and trading systems to the financial services industry. Another example […]
