Nothing But Net (Worth)

Where is broke?

I’ve been on the road for the past week and I should be back to blogging by Saturday.
Sorry (to my handful of loyal visitors) for being out of commission for a few days.  I’ll be back in action shortly.
Thanks again,

Switching jobs

Right now, all we hear about is how much the economy stinks.  We hear about unemployment, bailouts and a million other things.  I am fortunate to have a great job, but I’m not sure if I want to stay where I am.  I’ve been thinking about switching employers and job fields altogether.  Of course, I [...]

Weight Loss Sat…Um, Wednesday [Sorry it's a few days late]

I was planning on posting my Weight Loss Saturday post on Saturday, but wound up being out of town for the past few days.  Hopefully there was enough content to hold you over for the past few days (if there is anyone out there still reading this).  Starting on Super Bowl Sunday, I really had [...]

Book Review Tuesday: [Insert Title Here]

My plan was to review Smart Couples Finish Rich, but I’ve managed to lose the book either in my office or my apartment.  I will have to look around for the book because I was looking forward to reading it.  If I can finish the book this week, I will start back up with more [...]

Weekend Edition: Going to the Gym (or Burn and Earn My Way to a PS3)

One of the big monthly costs that I’ve had to add into my budget is the gym.  We have a gym in our building, but it is pretty bad.  I thought it was a selling point, but once I moved it, I had to admit that we really weren’t getting what we paid for.  The [...]

American Express Blue Cash Update (2.6.09)

I’ve almost hit my $6500 limit for BlueCash, which means the rewards should start kicking in pretty soon.  Unlike years past, I’m not trying to spend every dime on my Blue Card.  Nah, it’s not worth racking up the debt.  I’m switching to a more cash based system.  However, I still plan on charging all [...]

On Going “Debt Gangsta”

I’m not a Mets fan, but I do remember Jerry Manuel saying the following after Jose Reyes threw a fit:
“I told him the next time he does that, I’m going to get my blade out and cut him, right on the field.  Hey, I’m a gangsta now.  You go gangsta on me, I’m gonna have [...]

Financial Goals for 2009: To Thy Own Budget Be True (Goal #5)

Sure, I’ve talked about making a budget.  Well, after having a month’s worth of data, I think I have a better idea of what my budget entails.  My latest goal for 2009 is to Budget, Budget, Budget!!!!  I am still trying to figure out whether I’ll use the cash envelopes system or just use Excel [...]

Progress Report: How Am I Doing With My Goals?

When I started this blog, I set forth a few goals that I would try and accomplish in 2009.  Just in case you forgot, here are my goals (so far):

The Emergency Fund Part Deux (Goal #1)
Max Out Thy 401(k) (Goal #2)
Reduce My Credit Card Debt by 10% (Goal #3)
Gut Check Spending (Goal #4)

Well, as far [...]

My Current Financial Position (2.1.2009)

Well, it’s been almost three weeks since I started this blog and this is my first update regarding my financial position.  I wasn’t sure when the right time to calculate this was because of certain payments and when they would clear, but I figured that so long as I do it at the same time, [...]
