I don’t know why it is, but it seems like almost every marriage comes with a spender and a saver. I have seen rare exceptions where both are unleashed spenders - which often turns out to be quite disastrous, and even rarer still I have seen marriages with two savers. But for the most part, [...]

People who know me sometimes wonder why I’m so frugal. They question why I don’t seem to eat out. They can’t understand why I rather watch a movie at home than go to the movie theaters and they certainly don’t feel that I’m actually enjoying life. They, like most people, are simply [...]

Last week, a frugal shopping event for an office chair satisfied me as a learner, frugalist as well as a consumer. What am I talking about? Let me explain.
I’ve been discussing with my wife about a new chair for a while. Mine is old and ripped but more importantly, I was getting [...]

Growing up in an Asian culture, I was influenced by the traditions and concepts of Taoism (check out wikipedia’s page for more on the subject). With the outlook of our jobs and economy so grim, I’d like to talk about natural forces and balance, one of the central concepts of this philosophy that have [...]

This is a guest post from Neal Frankle, CFP®. Like many, he was affected by the financial crisis but unlike most who did nothing, he managed to turn it into a positive experience.
It’s easy to be scared to death these days. You may have lost 40% (or more) of your investment capital. To put the [...]

Let’s be honest. Some people are just more considerate than others.
These type of people always seem to understand how you feel. You want to be with them but do you ever want to be them? Do you think of each situation as if you are in the other person’s shoes?
Someone was helping me with a [...]

Good luck happens at least once in a while!
From Me:
For a long time now, I wanted a 3-wood (golf club) but never could justify the purchase. Yesterday, my wife hinted that she will get me one for the holiday season (Thanksgiving, Christmas). The retail stores must have heard the conversation because this morning [...]

This post is dedicated to every generous person who give out gifts during the holiday season! Have a great end to this year!
I grew up wishing all my gifts were cash. It didn’t matter whether it was my birthday or Christmas. Nothing is more versatile than money and I can buy anything [...]

I’ve contemplated about switching my checking account to the online high yield checking account (ING’s electric orange or ETrade’s online account come to mind) before. I will be honest, I wanted to switch not because I liked the other two companies better but mainly due to a high(er) yield when compared to my current [...]

When I was very young, I hated going to the shower. I would sit there (and in reality spend just as much time) convincing myself that I really didn’t want to waste my time. I would tell myself that while my parents forced asked me to go every single day, I never really saw the [...]

In the November issue of Fortune magazine is a featured article about the HENRYs (high earners, not rich yet). The writer argues that while they account for only 2.3% of the all American tax payers, they pay 17% of the total taxes paid. The author believes that it’s not fair that they pay [...]

It’s hard to ignore the similarities of our current crisis with Japan’s financial crisis which began in 1990. Boom of the housing market and excess lending feeding off each other leading to a housing bubble. Once popped, stock market prices were dragged lower and what’s left was banks with unmanageable debts from a lack of [...]
