The Economy

I've been posting most of my thoughts about the economic crisis at the Informed Banking Blog, so check it out if you are interested:

Informed Banking Blog

Long time no post

It's been awhile since I posted here, but since my other blogger blogs still get traffic, I figured I'd check in and give an update.

I'm still running my own business, and trying to get it to stand on its own without my constant involvement. Its going to be tough, but over the past 6 months I've been focused on building reliable cash flow. Within a few more months I expect that the professional services I render on behalf of the company will not have to fund the other activities. We'll see, and wish me luck.

My Wallet

My wallet keeps getting smaller and smaller. What's up with that?

Balance Transfer Checks

I keep getting bombarded with balance transfer checks from Chase and Bank of America! When will it stop!!

Save Money on Lighting and Electricity with Compact Flourescent Bulbs

I bought Globe 13-Watt Mini Soft White Compact Fluorescent Spiral Light Bulb, 8-Pack #6880201 from Amazon.com recently. They turned out to be good quality for the price:



That's an eight pack!

UPDATE: More good deals on compact fluorescent light bulbs.

My Credit Scores

Here's my credit scores over the past year (thanks to Providian.com):



These scores are fako scores.

Credit Card Cash Advances

I took out another cash advance from a credit card today (my USAA Mastercard). Its a decent deal: 6.9% APR. I've had better, but not with this limit.
