Still at 60…

I’m still driving 60, and it’s still working out great!
I filled up tonight on my way home after taking the girls out to the park, after rolling the trip odometer over 400 miles again.  This time filled up to the tune of a (relatively) sweet 25.07 mpg.

The farmer who could understand animals

A couple days ago I posted about the payday loans, and how I had my first (and only) experience with them while trying to help out some young hottie. I took out a high-interest loan for which I was liable to help her save her place, effectively helping her out by taking on her […]

Extreme debt reduction just got more… extreme?

I don’t normally write about other people’s posts, but I stumbled on one today from Plonkee Money about supercharging your debt snowball that I just had to mention, and make note of so I can do it myself.
The problem:  4 gazillion ways to do the debt snowball.  All having their benefits in one form or […]
