Congrats to NeedToBeDebtFree

In one year, I hope to making a post like this one on NeedToBeDebtFree. While they didn’t hit their goals, JW & wife sure as hell made a beautiful dent in the debt.
They budget, they watch their spending, and they look for ways to save at every corner… That’s the attitude, and once you […]

AT&T upping text message rates, again

According to my latest bill, AT&T is upping their SMS and MMS per-per-use rates again. In the past, this has been an opportunity for under-contract consumers to break their contract as it is a “material breach of contract” (depending on who you talk to).
If you’re on a txt/mms package plan, then breaking the contract […]

I can’t let the Charger go…

I’m terrible with cars. I’m a guy, I guess it’s in my nature to like my cars. It’s also one area of my life that I have been most stupid in, financially.

Laundry at my house […]

Life, Day 9, Quitting smoking sucks

I’ve been on the Chantix for about a week now. Infact, I started on the second week’s packet today (they come in week packets for the first month, then in normal bottles). I finally realized I wasn’t going to just “wean myself off” of the cancer sticks, so this morning I decided I […]

My first (hard) step… Cable is gone.

Time Warner Cable is a funny beast. I’ve had them for years for cable TV and cable Internet, and more recently for IP phone. I’ve been steadily paying this $120 bill each month for my services, and I’m a pretty quiet customer. I don’t call and complain every time the service is […]
