This is something that occurs to me from time to time. It's who's advice some people tend to weigh more heavily on when it comes to financial matters?
Take me. I listen to the words and follow the activities and ideas of people...

You know, I am a man who likes to set goals, and then put a solid plan in place in order to ensure I actually achieve it. You can't achieve anything without a plan, right? I mean, that's just how it works.
I want to make $1...

"It's not fair," we decry. "Why should...

I usually don't like to do "multiple things" posts. But since I am on a bit of a break, but still here, I suppose one is in order since there are lots of things going on to talk about.

I am talking about Bill Gates. Right now, according to Forbes, he is the 4th richest man in the world and he has pledged to give away virtually all of his money eventually.

On my last trip to get yet another lottery ticket, for whatever that is worth—dreams, dreams, dreams—I seemed to get a dry stare from the guy behind the counter who took my order.
Clearly he did not appreciate my humor, nor did...

Hmm. So, the Powerball for Saturday the 16th of April is set at a current jackpot of $325 million. So, what would I do?

Don't you just love it when money just kind of finds you? I mean, I could say I found IT. But it seems more fun when I think maybe the money knew I would be a good home and it just lead me right to where it was.

I've had a decent month here. I got off to a slow start because I was down in Los Angeles for the New Year. But I've had enough days off from work that I can chill here with MyLot and coffee.
