Just a few days ago, our friends over at PoweryBase launched their new app, Bills ~ On your table. I’ve had the good fortune to participate in the beta testing of this application and played around with it a little. First impressions? There’s nothing else like it. Bills ~ On your table is an iPhone [...]

I remember a few years ago, I watched a video on some website where they aimed to track a twenty dollar bill. They wrote a tiny message asking whoever had the note to send them an email with its location, the time and date they had the bill. It was marginally successful. I think they [...]

The day that I received my new Motorola Droid, I did two things. First, I slam-dunked my old Windows Mobile 5 phone into the kitchen drawer (I have some plans for that baby – and a future article).

Their “logical” explanation goes like this: no matter how much money you have in your hand, because there are holes, everything will slip away easily. [...]

Money is something that we all have to think about on a regular basis. Without cash in our pockets or a credit card in our wallets, we’re effectively useless in this world. How would we buy food, pay bills and clothe ourselves? How would we do anything? I’ve always taken a special interest in ways [...]

The key to cost of living is being frugal. It doesn’t mean cheap, or stingy or being a tightwad. What it does mean is getting the most bang for your buck! Ever heard the saying, “A penny saved is a penny earned.”? Well, that’s only half of the story. For every penny I spend, up [...]

Anyone who knows me very well knows that I can be a little bit obsessed when it comes to finances. It isn’t good enough to earn enough income to pay the bills – I want to be able to plan out our family’s financial future. I want to make a household budget that works in [...]
