Jim Bauer Not life changing money, but if one is 81, $250,000 could certainly go a long way. Normally, I would say not planning for retirement is bad behavior that deserves no reward, but I will let this one slide. I hope she is able to use the money and enjoy what she...

Growing where it shouldn't

Judy Evans @JudyEv (349437) • Rockingham, Australia 30 Mar

We are house-sitting and there are lawns on both sides of the house. This vagrant plant is poking its head out through the lawn. Do you recognise it? It’s a pumpkin. There are several pumpkin platns in the garden but somehow this...

Ciao! has bitten the dust

Daniel @Danielclark691 (2064) 11 Jan 18

Another writing website that I enjoyed using was called Ciao! It is still active, though members are not paid for their contributions. Payments were acceptable, with my average cash out at around the £100 mark. Good months I could...

Jim Bauer Never heard of Ciao. Man, back in the day there were so many sites out there. Bubblews, WebAnswers, Daily Two Cents, Niume, PersonaPaper among a few that readily come to mind. These days the only site that outlived all of them is of course myLot. As much as I...

The days of the great BUBBLEWS

Daniel @Danielclark691 (2064) 9 Jan 18

I am sure some of you will recall a website named 'BUBBLEWS'. This was a writing site, though you weren't actually writing for the content as such. Bubblews was a site co-run by Arvind Dixit. You may wish to do some of your own...

Jim Bauer That has always been the appeal of a site like this. You can write about anything, everything, and nothing. Very freeing, and makes the interactions more fun as well because there's such a variety of things people are talking about around here.

Belle Gibson

Daniel @Danielclark691 (2064) 17 Mar

Jim Bauer Always has to be one in the bunch. Just out to make a buck. It's a fool's game, because it usually gets discovered, and then the gravy train comes to a screeching halt and they wind up just looking like a$$holes.

Kareng @kareng (71352) • United States 30 Mar

Wants vs. Need

Angie @andriaperry (118583) • Anniston, Alabama 30 Mar

Everyone wants stuff but what if we only got what we need? I've been working towards the budget of needs only. It's a true lifestyle change, for sure. It's a total new way of looking at life. Not just going back to minimalism...

Jim Bauer It's doable, but so is having some luxuries and wants. You know I am no stranger to saving, being frugal, and cutting costs wherever I can, but I also live by a mantra that says, "Save on the things you need so you can afford the things you want." Money...

We have a "teachers meeting" at Guitar Center this morning. I have to be there at 9 AM, instead of my usual 10 AM on Saturdays. Of course, we are paid for attending, so I will make an extra $20 this morning. I don't know if I'll...
