Net Worth

Good Info I've Collected

Dreamhost - use code GIVEME50 and you will save $50 off your first year of hosting (I make $47).

This poor guy thought some old bank notes were worthless and flushed them down the toilet. Worthless ended up being a loot in the tune of $18,900 US.

The notes clogged the pipes and workers repairing the clog discovered the loot. The entire story is at MSNBC.

My question is - why did he flush them? If they thought they were useless, why not just throw them away??

Maybe he thought he could kill two birds with one stone and clean the toilet while he was discarding of the ‘useless’ money? hehe

I just discovered your blog today from a link on another financial blog. Your blog is so refreshing to me… We have 19,000 in credit card debt and 8,000 in parent student loan debt for our son. We also have an income close to yours of 42,000. It is so nice to hear about someone like us. So many of the personal financial blogs are about people with big incomes who are trying to amass retirement savings, etc. I like to read about someone closer to our own situation. We cut up our credit cards last summer and are trying to pay them off. I think you are doing awesome that you are able to make your payments every month and on time.
