Wednesday, November 30th, 2005I’ve been working my way through Lee Eisenberg’s The Number. For those of you who may not know, “The Number” is the amount of money you will need to have in order to fund your retirement. The book will be out in about a month. I highly recommend you check it out. [...]
Blogging About Blogs
Tuesday, November 29th, 2005My friend Ken Leebow recently moved his blog from blogger to another server. He also changed the name of his blog from BloggingAboutBlogs to Revolution 3.0. I know from experience that moving or changing a blog is a lot of work. It also seems to take FOREVER for your traffic to pick [...]
Do You Tithe?
Tuesday, November 29th, 2005I think it is kind of funny that with all the different religions and their different beliefs, they all believe in tithing. Religious groups will pick apart pretty much any doctrine or belief but THEY ALL believe in tithing. This brings me to the Question of the Day:
The Beauty of the Roth IRA
Monday, November 28th, 2005This was previously posted on my old blog. I’m in the process of moving the best of my old posts to this blog.

I’m thankful for…
Jesus Christ and the sacrifice that He made for mankind
My wife
My kids
My extended family and friends
My church
My health (although I could and [...]
This is Simply Unbelievable
Tuesday, November 22nd, 2005I saw this article in today’s Wall Street Journal about this how this guy set up MillionDollarHomepage.com with the goal of selling 10,000 pixels at $100 per pixel in order to make $1,000,000. Guess what, he’s up to $643,000 now! Crazy! I get a headache just looking at the jumbled mess.
It is Done!
Tuesday, November 22nd, 2005I finished my H&R Block final in about 1 hour and 45 minutes. Part I was very difficult because it covered filing status and dependency – two of the most boring chapters in the book.
