How to Be ‘One Up On Wall Street’

Last updated on: July 27, 2011 at 10:06 am By Tim

I recently read Peter Lynch’s book One Up On Wall Street. Lynch was fund manager of the top performing Fidelity Magellan Fund from 1977 to 1990. Though the book was written in 1989, Lynch’s wisdom still holds true today. In fact, as I was reading, it was fun to insert the words ‘2008/2009’ recession in the places that he referenced the 1987 recession. In just 20 short years, we’ve forgotten how our human behavior can keep us from taking advantage... Read more

Are Electric Cars Worth The Price?

Last updated on: July 26, 2011 at 8:57 am By Tim

I saw a Chevy Volt in a parking lot the other day, and I have to say, it was a pretty cool looking car. To be honest, I hadn’t realized that you could actually purchase one already, so I was taken by surprise a little. “That’s got to be expensive,” I thought as I drove by. But then I started to wonder if the price of an electric vehicle was actually worth it because of the potential savings involved. With... Read more

My wife and I are pretty frugal when it comes to groceries and others area of our budget.

Why is There Still No Credit Check Financing?

Last updated on: July 20, 2011 at 7:00 am By Tim

Something bothered me the other day as I sat at a stop sign. I looked to my left and saw a sign for a furniture store with the words glaring “No Credit Check Financing.” Seriously?! Isn’t that how we got into this mess in the first place? Here we are two years into one of the worst recessions ever, and we’re still handing out goods on credit without even checking someone’s credit history. I’m all about the free market and...

From DINKs to SINKs: Making One Income Work

Last updated on: July 18, 2011 at 7:00 am By Tim

My wife and I have been DINKs for the last three years. If you didn’t know, a DINK stands for DUAL INCOME, NO KIDS. We’ve been extremely blessed and our DINK status has allowed us to save a healthy emergency fund, set aside a good amount in our retirement accounts and pay down student loans over these few years. But all that changed last week. My wife’s last day of work was on Friday, so we officially became SINKs –... Read more

Words of Wisdom

Last updated on: July 15, 2011 at 7:00 am By Tim

Solomon was known for having wisdom. You know the story – instead of asking for riches and power, Solomon asked God for wisdom and he was given a ‘wise and understanding heart’ along with more riches than anyone else in the world. (The full story can be read in 1 Kings chapter 3) The author of much of the Old Testament wisdom literature, Solomon shared his heart in words that have inspired people for thousands of years. His words of... Read more

U.S. Debt Clock

Last updated on: July 13, 2011 at 7:00 am By Tim

Have you ever seen a U.S. debt clock before? There are a few sites that have real time debt clocks that are pretty interesting to look at. You’ll find that these clocks aren’t exactly the same because they’re based on figures from the US Treasury that change each month, requiring sites to adjust their algorithm, which can vary from site to site. The most interesting debt clock that I’ve found is the one at US Debt Clock. It’s by far,... Read more

What is the debt ceiling? If you’ve been following the news lately, you’ve probably heard about the United State’s debt ceiling.
