So, as you know, I made the decision on Tuesday to cancel cable to save $175 a month, which was the portion of our cable bill that covered the TV portion. Our service ended Thursday evening. After several conversations, as well...

I Will Be Making the Call Today

Jim Bauer @porwest (94568) • 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 (94568) • 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...

Should I Do DoorDash?

Jim Bauer @porwest (94568) • United States 12 Jan

I don't know. I am retired, but I can still make money. So, I have had a few ideas, one that comes to mind is DoorDash. It seems easy enough and you can make a fair amount of money. Is it worth it? Has anyone here done DoorDash?...

Down Fitty Cents

Jim Bauer @porwest (94568) • 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 (94568) • 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 (94568) • 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...

Sometimes You Get a Wild Idea

Jim Bauer @porwest (94568) • United States 4 Jan

Okay. So, it's really not that wild. I have been involved with several businesses in the past. Nothing I will disclose. But there's a car wash not far from my house that gets what we call 32k ADT. It's a manual car wash with two...

I would like to make money

WP @mishocat05 (73) 3 Jan

I would really like to make money. Really! So far, it wasn't my priority! I have a weird mentality about money! I feel it has no business existing! But there isn't much I can do about that, so I might as well get off my ass...

I know some people are trying it out, and there are a few books on it. Of course, there is loads of information on minimalism. What do you guys think? Do you think it is possible to live without money?

Sharing a Very Harsh Reality

Jim Bauer @porwest (94568) • United States 1 Jan

This is not a brag, nor is this a scolding. What this is, is a harsh reality that I face not only here but in many other places. I've managed to save a little bit of money. My wife and I have been fortunate. [i]By...

Did you ever want any toys as a child but were never able to have them?

Shavkat @Shavkat (140177) • Philippines 18 Dec

When I was a young kid, I wanted to collect the G.I. Joe's figures. However, I did not have them because my parents would not buy them for me. For them, it is better to buy food to eat than this kind of aspiration. That is the...

Money can be a hard thing to figure out. Either you never have enough money. Or you just have enough but no emergency money. Sometimes you never have enough money to get everything that you need. Some people have strict budgets...

Those Dollars

Jim Bauer @porwest (94568) • United States 1 Dec

Almost everyone has a coin jar that they toss their change into, to periodically take to the bank and cash out to either deposit into a savings account, or just simply spend it. Of course, I always advocate for putting it...

So, after signing up at myLot, I had to go away for a week. I just got back and logged in and found $0.1182 in my account. Not much to dance about! But some money is always better than no money. What on earth do you guys do for...

MegaMillions for the Big Win

Jim Bauer @porwest (94568) • United States 28 Nov

It's kind of depressing to some extent when you think about the cash option when it comes to the lottery, that the amount listed is not even close to what you take home if you win the jackpot if you aren't taking the annuity,...
