Linkworthy: Cash, Condoms and Apple Options

Jesse Michelsen — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 18:04:21 +0000

I pride myself in being able to pay cash for most things. I am actually embarrassed when I buy a big purchase and put it on a credit card because I know I actually have the cash to pay for it (but use the credit card for points/miles) and I’m worried that the salesperson may [...]

As the fourth iteration of the iPhone came out this past week or so, and everyone and their dog is jumping on the huge bandwagon, dropping hundreds of dollars, waiting in lines at extreme hours of the night to get one, I couldn’t resist highlighting this post as my editors choice this week. So to [...]

Linkworthy: Nickels, Dimes, and Roaches

Jesse Michelsen — Sat, 15 May 2010 11:04:16 +0000

Today’s pick goes to Jeff at Deliver Away Debt. He’s got a great story behind his blog and an interesting, nose to the grind solution to his debt problem. Last week he posted about nickel and diming. Now I know some people feel it’s better to enable yourself to make these kinds of purchases, by [...]

Linkworthy: Prescriptions, Pennies and Dora the Explorer

Jesse Michelsen — Fri, 07 May 2010 17:09:26 +0000

By now you all know I have two kids. Though we don’t have cable, who doesn’t know about Dora the Explorer. Last week, Jason @Redeeming Riches did a really cool piece on 5 Things Dora the Explorer Teaches Us About Personal Financial Planning. This is my pick for the week. It was very well written, [...]

Linkworthy: Simplicity, Ignorance, and Stay at home Moms

Jesse Michelsen — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 17:21:14 +0000

Another week..oops, I missed one! So these are some from the past two weeks. First up, I thought this post was really inspiring. Simple Life in France shares a story of one of her readers who basically gave up everything to move to Portugal and now lives on about $5,000 a year with much that [...]

Yet another busy weekend. My sister in law is pregnant and my wife was in charge of the baby shower, which means I was helping We had a blast doing all the food for the shower and it turned out really good. On somewhat of the same subject, you really have to find a balance [...]

My weekend was far busier than I anticipated but hey, that’s life and it’s all good busy around here these days. I’m changing the way I do some things around here so this Linkworthy will be a bit different. My pick for this week goes to Austin at Foreigners Finance. He played off an article [...]

Another week just flew by. I’m still playing catchup, so here are more golden oldies to wet your appetite.

Linkworthy: Funds, Frugality and Satisfaction

Jesse Michelsen — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 17:32:23 +0000

Lately I have been pretty dormant here. One of the main reasons at least for the recent dormancy is that our 9 month old daughter was in the hospital for almost a week. She is back at home now and life is returning to something that closely resembles the normal swing of things. The hospital [...]

Jesse Michelsen — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 13:58:12 +0000

I’ve got a bit of catching up to do here but I wanted to bring the light to some great articles I read during the last quarter of 2009. My personal favorite for this group has to be Anna’s article from ABDPBT titled What Everybody Ought To Know About Buying a New Mattress, my favorite [...]
