Last updated on: March 18, 2011 at 6:00 am By Tim

This guest post was written by Jason, the proprietor of Live Real, Now, a blog focused on spending–and saving–in the real world.

Dangers of Dave Ramsey’s Investment Advice

Last updated on: March 17, 2011 at 7:00 am By Tim

I started listening to Dave Ramsey in college and really found his show to be both encouraging and entertaining (in a good way mostly). His principles can help people struggling with debt and I encourage anyone to read the book Total Money Makeover. Like other financial writers, there are some things Dave says that I don’t agree with completely. One of those issues in particular is his perception of potential returns in the stock market. Here are a few good... Read more

Smart My dad gave me one dollar bill ‘Cause I’m his smartest son, And I swapped it for two shiny quarters ‘Cause two is more than one! And then I took the quarters And traded them to Lou For three dimes — I guess he don’t know That three is more than two! Just then, along came old... Read more

Is NASA a Financial Drain on America?

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

Imagine that you have $14,000 in credit card debt. Pretty hefty amount right? I mean, you consistently spend more than you make every month, and this figure just keeps getting bigger and bigger every year. As you think of ways to cut your spending, you say to yourself, I think it would be fun to go to the movies tonight. It’s just $19 and in the big scheme of things, $19 won’t make a dent in my $14,000 credit card... Read more

Last updated on: March 14, 2011 at 7:00 am By Tim

This weekend we checked out a few places to rent since we’ll be moving this summer for my wife to attend med school.

Here’s what I noted and hopefully it helps... Read more

Why Rent Control Is Destructive

Last updated on: March 8, 2011 at 7:00 am By Tim

Put simply, rent control is a price ceiling that restricts landlords from charging above a certain rate for a housing unit. Started in the World War II era, this program to provide affordable housing to lower income people has resulted in an economic nightmare. It’s a case in point example of how good intentions don’t always equal good policies with respect to economics. How Rent Control Affects Supply If you were a landlord and couldn’t charge more than $350 for... Read more
