This is my parent’s 55th wedding anniversary today, and I applaud and celebrate their lives together here and on my other web sites. Emerald is the anniversary gift for 55, if you are curious.

Good Comments

Lately I have had some very good commentary discussions and extra points made by my readers but yesterday there was a very good addendum to yesterday’s post Tomorrow May Be My Last Day where the commenter said:

Medical/dental benefits - if they are continued (sometimes they are, sometimes they aren’t) re-order the longest supply of on-going prescriptions you can (sic) and schedule a dental appointment for as soon as practical.

An excellent point that I had not even thought of, but something to add to your “job doomsday” list.

Are You Buying $100 Roses Today?

I’d like to, but I also can’t get my head around paying that much for something like that. I could wait two weeks and buy the same bunch of roses for $60.00, and have enjoyed peace and quiet for those two weeks due to my wife not talking to me. These kind of choices are always interesting to mull over in my mind.

I noted yesterday that I posted my 500th posting with very little fanfare (in fact I was trying to win a Wii from that Evil John Chow). My apologies, major events in life must be noted and celebrated (like the day you get out of debt, get as drunk as Tucker Max ). I have made over 500 postings, over the past 3 years, which I think is amazing and maybe a monument to futility as well, as I don’t think my financial planning has gotten that much better.

Over the past 3 years I have learned a lot about blogging in specific, and financial stuff in general from a lot of the web sites that I talk about, and from books I have read or been pointed to. There are some amazing financial minds out there (just look at my links list for my preferred authors), and you should read lots of them to get ideas, that is where I get a lot of mine from.

I seem to have lasted longer than Rosie the Magazine, and “New Coke” so I guess that is a good thing? Hopefully I will be index’ed by Google again, I seem to have disappeared from the Index, which is annoying. Stay tuned, more financial “clap trap” to come!
