New Job

August 02nd, 2008 | Category: Finance, Random Thoughts

It has been some time since I have last posted.  Actually, it has been some time since I have been in my regular schedule of blogging.

Today, I started my new job.  I don’t really even know my job title, but I am mainly the assistant to a bookkeeper for a local hotel.  I also do other things when needed, such as: helping with any kind of maintenance, checking customers in, and any other task that they may need me for.

This job is something that I have been searching for over the last 2 ½ months. It just about fell in my lap…

My New Car

June 10th, 2008 | Category: Finance

I just bought a new car. Actually no I didn’t, but if this car was available in the United States, I would for sure purchase it. Not only as a way to save money, but as a way to get back at the gas companies who are really screwing over America. Mike was talking about changing some driving habits, so I wanted to talk about how I would try to improve mine.

The car is a little bit ugly, and kinda weird looking, but I would take it so that I could save money.

A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one advertising agency did a good job of putting that figure into some perspective in one of it’s releases. 

  1. A billion seconds ago it was 1959. 
  2. A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive. 
  3. A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in the Stone Age. 
  4. A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet. 
  5. A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes, at the rate our government is spending it.

Gas could hit $8 a gallon

May 31st, 2008 | Category: Finance, Politics

If a bill that comes out of Congress in June ever passes and is signed into law, then a new federal bureaucracy would be formed to manage the complicated new tax called cap & trade.  This would be all to pacify the Global Warming pessimists here and abroad. And then to drastically raise taxes on gasoline. Can you say five to eight dollars a gallon? Does that sound like a plan to you?  I certainly don’t think so.
