Give Me Back My Five Bucks

This post is in response to Fabulously Broke, who wrote this post, on one of her other blogs, Style on a String. On this blog, she posts pictures of some of her favourite outfits – and more than once, she has been insulted because of the way she looks – how she does her nails, how her body isn’t a certain way. It’s just downright rude. I definitely think there has been some sort of switch that has been flipped. All of a sudden, bloggers everywhere are being attacked by commenters. Rude, vicious, vindictive commenters who, instead of giving constructive … Continue reading →

I just got my paws on something that I have been waiting for FOR YEARS: Quicken Essentials for Mac. I almost didn’t switch over to Mac because I hated the last version of Quicken for Mac. True story!

Last night BF and I went to the Sweden/Slovakia quarter-finals game. Did anyone watch it!? What an awesome, epic game. Even though we were literally in the very last row in the uppers. It was especially an amazing experience to be downtown right after Canada beat Russia. I’ve never been more proud to be Canadian, than in the past 2 weeks. Here are a few pictures from the night. Hockey predictions: 1. Canada, 2. Finland, 3. Slovakia, 4. USA

Can you believe this blog has been around for 3 freaking years!? I remember when I first started, the PF blogosphere was relatively small – and now it has just exploded! Talking about personal finance has become cool! I absolutely love it. In the time I’ve had this blog, I’ve gotten out of debt, got a new job, got fired from new job, broke up with my BF, met current BF, got a new job, moved to Vancouver, quit job, got a new job, had LASIK eye surgery, crashed and totaled BF’s car, moved in with BF, planned to go … Continue reading →
