Veering a bit off-topic for the moment… I NEED to see this!!! Poor Steven J. Chernoski grew up in Ewing Twp., N.J. — an area of the state he calls Central Jersey. Apparently, he’s trying to discern the dividing line between North and South Jersey through a film project with two other collaborators, Alena Kruchkova and Andrei [...] Even though temperatures are still in the 70s, the heat of summer isn’t far off. And already, our apartment has been heating up during the day. I’d made my own heavy, dark curtains for the sunroom (which has EIGHT windows), the spare bedroom and the dining room, and installed shades on the ones in the [...] One’s perception of money is a funny thing. Take, for instance, my early feelings on stashing cash in an an “emergency fund.” At the tender age of 19, in my first apartment, I apparently felt that $500 was sufficient in case some unexpected expense came up.

I have a Hotmail account where I direct all of my “junk” mail, so it helps pare down the advertisements. [...] Above, another fine example of my father’s slightly neurotic behavior. This time, it’s counting coins. Does he just toss his spare change into a jar, like any Joe Schmo? Ha, how pedestrian! No, the man has the need to neatly stack his coins on the kitchen table (which really serves as his desk). As [...] Hope those of you who had a three-day weekend enjoyed it! Mine was more of a 2 1/2-day weekend, as the magazine world stops for no one. At least it was a shorter Monday night than usual… Yesterday was a gorgeous day — until I had to fill up my gas tank. The good news: My little [...] Interested in submitting a guest post? Rainy-Day Saver is looking for new and interesting points of view and explanations of personal finance topics.
