Waste of money

Aparna Sen @Dreamerby (6542) • Calcutta, India 21 Feb

I just wasted Rs 2222 on a course! Now, its a reputed online centre and all but they didn't mention that their Google Drive course would be so complicated to download. There's immense palaver involved in downloading all the...

Breaking the Cycle of Insanity

Jim Bauer @porwest (96287) • United States 21 Feb

I talk a lot about saving and investing your money, and the importance of it. But there's another aspect of it that I don't always express as much, although I have mentioned it more than once, and that's about the [i]power of...

I Caved...Oh No!

Jim Bauer @porwest (96287) • United States 19 Feb

I guess at the end of the day, I'm hardly broke. I have stuck to my laurels for the most part when it comes to egg prices. The last two dozen I got I bought at $1.99 each, and I have one egg left from that batch. The best prices I...

Just Another Day at the Bauer's

Jim Bauer @porwest (96287) • United States 15 Feb

No dollar signs on the 15th? Should we be worried? I guess we will have to wait and see, but that seems a bit unusual to say the least. Went to Ollies and got a couple of things. I was a little disappointed that they did not have...

What essential need can you buy with your $20?

Erly Maglangit @cacay1 (84220) • Cagayan De Oro, Philippines 13 Feb

This amount in PH peso is equivalent to 1,200. This amount could buy essential things at home. Ten years ago, $20 could buy one sack of white rice ( 56 kilos) and then after six years, $20 could buy only 30 kilos of white rice....

$2 Trillion

Jim Bauer @porwest (96287) • United States 12 Feb

That's what DOGE is seeking to find. $2 trillion worth of cost savings to the American public by looking for waste, fraud and abuse at taxpayers expense. While many are arguing "loss of services," what is being targeted are NOT...

To do or not to do.

April @thislittlepennyearns (63512) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 2 Feb

Hey everyone! I’ve been thinking about trying one of those 23andMe DNA tests for quite a while now. I’ve always loved exploring family history and DNA stuff, and there’s so much I don’t know about my dad’s side of the family....

Found It

Jim Bauer @porwest (96287) • United States 29 Jan

Whenever my wife and I travel, or there is a large expense to put out, I like to be as creative as possible in determining how it will be paid for. 9 times out of 10, it's the stock market that comes home to deliver the goods. I...

Jim Bauer @porwest (96287) • United States 15 Jan

That's it. I'm done. And so is AT&T. Another $300 bill and I am sorry, but they can just pound sand. I have been wanting to get rid of the cable for a very long time and the trigger is finally being pulled. I will be making the...

Hot Dogs for a Cheap Meal

Jim Bauer @porwest (96287) • United States 13 Jan

Now, I know, I know. @NJChicaa will undoubtedly offer me up some puke faces. I swear, I could make a bacon wrapped filet mignon with a Parmesan garlic bechamel sauce and she'd likely give me puke faces. That's because I am...

Down Fitty Cents

Jim Bauer @porwest (96287) • United States 11 Jan

Dagnabbit seems to be a word I have been forced to use more often lately due to snow and other matters fully warranting a dagnabbit. Today was no exception as I scanned my Ruler Foods receipt and realized I was overcharged...

It Starts with an Idea or a Knack

Jim Bauer @porwest (96287) • United States 9 Jan

I was responding to a comment on one of my other posts, and it made me think about something I say often, and that's that one can start a business or be successful in one without two things: Money, and a knowledge of the business...

Hey Everybody, Porwest Bought Eggs!

Jim Bauer @porwest (96287) • United States 5 Jan

Two dozen, in fact. Would you believe it? Okay, okay. I made it very clear in multiple posts and comments I would not pay any more than $2 for a dozen eggs. The average prices have been hovering around anywhere from $2.49 at Ruler...
