I don’t know if you would actually call it a “style”. I just buy what feels right. I’ve made some dog picks and some great picks but who hasn’t.
Contrary to popular personal finance wisdom, I don’t like mutual funds. At all. I have them in an old IRA and of course my 401(k) because I […]

I used to watch these shows but now they just depress me. I don’t have as much as I *should* have. When you take into account my age and salary, I’m way behind the curve. I know I shouldn’t compare myself to other people because well life happens. Some things were beyond my control and […]

I have stock in several companies. 1 company I have send me the dividends instead of reinvesting them. I know conventional wisdom says to reinvest dividends but I don’t follow that advice. I work in banking and that company is also in banking. The majority of my portfolio is in the banking sector. So I […]

I’m still buying stock even in this topsy-turvy market. You know the old mantra “buy low-sell high”? That’s what I’m hoping to do. I just wish I had more money to add to send right now while the prices are so low.
I thought I had only bought 6 shares last year. But I got my […]

Every so often, I go online and run a retirement calculator to see where I stand. The numbers absolutely scare me. I am so far behind it’s not even funny. According to the calculators I can probably retire when I’m 70. lolol.
I should be getting a raise within the next 3 months so I can […]

I don’t really have enough money to invest at this point. But I always keep my eyes out for companies that I think have the potential for growth. Right now I’m sick and the majority of the cold meds that I’m taking are all made by the same company. One of the first investing principles […]

I like watching personal finance shows on tv. Most of the people on these shows are self-made so it’s interesting to see their takes on money. I love Suze Orman but I have to say sometimes she annoys me.
There was a couple on her show that was spending between $1500-$4000 per month on “frivolous things”. […]

I would love go to New York and go to a investment seminar. There are so many things I can learn. They have 2 events that I would be interested in. This first one is learning about offshore banking in Belize. But the event that I really would like to go to is the one […]

You know the saying if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is? Well, that’s what the idea of investing in a real estate trust deed seems to be. Low risk and up to a 12% return. Sounds awesome. However, I need to read more information before I put down my hard earned […]

My net worth is going up. Not by much but it’s slowly climbing. I said I wanted my net worth to increase to $4000 and it has so I’m revising my numbers for the whole year. My net worth is $4965.69. This does not include some of the money I have made from blogging. I […]

I know some people do and some people don’t. Personally I don’t consider it to be an investment. Of course I do believe that if you buy jewelry that you should buy quality jewelry. It doesn’t always pay to buy something just because it’s cheap. In the end, that’s all you’ll have is a cheap […]

I haven’t added any money to my investment accounts for at least 2 months. Between spending extra money for Mother’s Day and for a graduation, I spent a tad bit more than I intended. I also just transferred money from my PayPal account into my checking account. You can’t write a check with no money […]
