I’ve been watching this clip over and over again for a week, so I figured this would make it easier for me. Hope you enjoy it as well!

Mint – Financially fresh

2008 November 28
by Drew

In the fifth post of this six-part series (parts 1, 2, 3, 4) I’m covering a tool that has been in the forefront of online personal finance for quite a while.  In fact, Mint was the first personal finance website that I ever heard of, though I was unable to use it then because my bank was not supported at the time.  I do know many people that use Mint and are very happy with it.  Let’s take a look at what Mint has to offer (as well as were it falls short). read more…

First off, my apologies for the long delay in the next installment of this series.  I have a couple of excuses, but rather than waste your time with them I will instead give you a link to a guest post that I wrote for nodebtplan.net.  I talked about a couple of tools that I have already covered with this series, but I also talked about another very new tool.  I suggest giving the article a read.  Also, as always, here are some links to early installments of this series: part 1, part 2, part3.  So let’s jump into part 4 of this 6 part series. read more…

Quicken – The old dog with new tricks

2008 November 7

This is the 3rd post in a series about free personal finance websites.  You can find the first post here and the second post here.

There is a good chance that you have heard of Quicken before reading this post.  Quicken Software started in 1984 and has been a household name when it comes to personal finance software. However, this name has been built on a line of desktop software, not something that you can use from any computer with an internet connection.  Quicken Online has changed this by allowing you to keep track of your finances over the internet.  So here it is, my review of Quicken Online.  Again, these are my opinions, people, so you need to make a decision for yourself! read more…

The best online personal finance tool

2008 November 4
by Drew

When it comes to keeping up with where you spend your money, there are a whole lot of options out there.  Some of the old school among us still use the register in our checkbooks.  That’s right, kids, some people still carry checkbooks (and I remember what a register is).  All kidding aside, there has never been an easier time to be financially responsible than in the 21st century.  The main reason for this is a long list of personal finance websites that make it super easy to keep up with exactly where your money is going.  Maybe the hardest part these days is just deciding which website to use! read more…

Have you ever been checking your email and thought to yourself, “Man, I really wish I could play Snake while I did this?”  Yeah, me neither.  That said, I think it is awesome that some Gmail engineer(s) were able to take some time to work on something fun like this.  Anyways, here is how you can set it up with your account. read more…

“The spread eagle worked so well”

I’m not going to make it a regular occurrence to bash Auburn on this site.  I have many friends with ties to Auburn and I’m not willing to disrespect them just to make jabs at the school and football team.  That said, there are times when I will come across something that is simply too funny to not be shared.  This is one of those times. read more…

“All those sucker branches can suck our fat”

So I was casually watching the Office on Hulu while tinkering with some other stuff and something caught my eye.  I was almost 10 minutes into episode 1 of season 5 (entitled “Weight Loss”) when I recognized one of the other students in Pam’s art class.

After watching over and over again I’m fairly convinced that Angela Kinsey (AKA the accountant Angela Martin) has something under her shirt and is taking a seat in the front row of Pam’s art class.  The blonde hair is what first caught my eye and the green hat seems to be pulled low to try to hide her identity. read more…
