ParticipantA couple thoughts…
I used to use Quicken, but then heard of a company that just received second round financing. (www.mint.com) I have used it for about 3 months. It does everything that I used to use Quicken for, but adds a bunch of features like text message alerts that alert you when you are getting close to or have exceeded your limits on any given category.
Is free,supported by sponsors on one tab of the site where they will recommend competing services to those you alreay use (i.e. internet,phone etc.) that are at a lower cost than what you currently spend. Its very unobtrusive. Honestly, I don’t even notice unless I am looking for it.
Sorry for the plug, I have no involvement. I just think it is really cool.
It sorts transactions intelligently, so after a few weeks of training it runs itself.
Secondly, I wish I could get close to saving the % Nos can save. It is much more difficult to convince a wife and child to live the life of poverty that you are. Then again if I could even approximate a 22,000 monthly income it would be much easier!

ParticipantI for one am not chasing money, but I do want to make sure that if I take on the equivalent of a mortgage in the Midwest, that I will be able to service my debts.
BTW, if I followed the motto repeated many times the result woud be, “Do what you love and end up a divorced ski bum.” =)
Another thread I just read raises an interesting question. Is there an education bubble? Has easy credit for education made higher education a less lucrative investment?
It seems that education costs have risen exponentially as private credit has pumped up the cost of a degree. The final result, at least for a bachelors degree, is lower earning power than the degree had 20 years ago.
From an investors point of view, is education still a BUY even at costs upwards of 150k in tuition?
