Tweet This morning I woke up, did some email and had breakfast with my family. The kids went out and played in 4 fresh inches of snow, and I went downstairs to read some product specs for work. The specs, as usual, were boring and filled with anomalies, so I switched over to Quicken to check [...]
Tweet Here’s a quick and cheap recipe the kids will love on a snow day: Fill a mixing bowl with fresh snow (powdery snow is the best). While mixing, add milk until it has the consistency of creamy mashed potatoes. Keep mixing, add sugar until it tastes sweet. Continue mixing, and add vanilla until it [...]
Tweet The ERE book giveaway has been a huge success. The original intent was to give back to this great community and to further share what I’ve learned in reading books like ERE and YMOYL. I was bombarded with far more comments than I expected, but it turned out to be a helluva brainstorming session. [...]
Tweet Look to the right of your screen and you’ll see that I just surpassed 100 subscribers (hopefully that will still be true when this gets published!). I realize that 100 subscribers isn’t a lot compared to many blogs and I’m OK with that because I know that my 100 subscribers are a whole lot [...]

Tweet Over the past 2 months or so I noticed my motorcycle wasn’t accelerating well, although the symptom was subtle since the performance seemed to have degraded slowly over time.

Tweet There are a thousands of articles and books about the types of employees they desire: they want people who will listen, who will do what they’re told, who won’t ask questions, and who are willing to work longer hours every year. (and schools were set up to teach kids to learn basic skills, to [...]
Tweet About 3 months ago I decided I wanted to get involved with Real Estate Investing (REI), so I got a book from the library and started reading. It turns out the RE world is a highly complex world! Always up for a challenge, I was hooked. Next I joined BiggerPockets.com, and joined the forums. [...]
Tweet While I know I’m the only person in the world that doesn’t own an Apple product, I’ve been a big Steve Jobs fan for years. It started about 4 years ago when I listened to this commencement speech for the first time. I still listen to it regularly to keep my head on straight. [...]
Tweet September was a great month for my overall extreme early retirement goals. First, I had my lowest month of expenses despite having my mom staying with us for 2 weeks. Normally, having visitors drives expenses up because we spend more on food and entertainment. Although we did spend more in those two areas, the [...]
