Some Good Eating…

June 30, 2009 by Smart Investing · Leave a Comment 

~~By InsightAnalytical-GRL I follow an “interesting” diet and was looking for some way to avoid “light mayo” and all the junk that it contains. (I don’t eat eggs, so I don’t eat “real” mayo, even organic, and I avoid soy products as well. I did some hunting and found a great blog called “One Frugal Foodie” which is full of no-milk recipes but also focuses on VALUE, which we are all looking for today as the economy struggles. The site also has a great blogroll. So, if you want to eat well

Discover How To Could Repair Your Poor Credit Record

June 30, 2009 by Smart Investing · Leave a Comment 

Folk on the far end of the range will tell you that credit repair is a parable. That it is snake oil peddled by con-artists making an attempt to separate you from your cash. They feel a poor credit rating is something that you have earned and will have to endure without recourse. According to them, the sole way you can “repair” your credit is to hang around for the negative items on your credit reports to naturally fall off. Borrowers with lower credit worthiness scores can expect to be den

Budget, what budget? That is what I am feeling these days. Since we have taken a break from school we have a little bit of extra money. We are not paying for piano, ice skating, and a few other things due to the summer break. We do have fishing trips and fun stuff planned though and that all takes money too. We have taken to eating out more than usual also. Eating out is a treat that I love, no shopping, planning, cooking, or clean-up. Having a family our size takes a lot out of our budge

Book Review: What Your Contractor Can’t Tell You: The Essential Guide to Building and Renovating by Amy Johnston

June 30, 2009 by Smart Investing · Leave a Comment 

Why do so many home improvement projects end in disaster? According to Amy Johnson, the author of What Your Contractor Can’t Tell You, it’s due to the fact that homeowners simply don’t have access to the right tools, knowledge and planning abilities that the pro’s do. Her basic premise is that home owners will spend 90% of their time actually working on a project, and 10% planning it, while the opposite is true of professionals.
