  Ironing out the Curve: Schedule Changes 11 things in the kitchen sink, SRSLY, SRSLY domestic science, admin, domestic science, eleven things, goat-free intentions, goat-free simplicity, intents and purchases, kitchen sink | (0)

  When the fall semester begins on  September 5, our lives will become a bit more...interesting, as Mer joins me at school and we become a two-student household. This weekend marks the start of preparations for this change, and in addition to adjusting our daily schedules, we're adjusting our posting frequency here.   Our goal with this new schedule is to provide quality content in line with the frugality and simplicity that Living Behind the Curve was founded on, without losing the quirkiness that the site has developed since its inception. Drumroll please...effective immediately, our new schedule is: Monday has become Goat-Free Intentions day, a ...

  Running Ubuntu, Part One frugality, kitchen sink, software, technology | (3)

  Sara, at ParentingToddlers.net, encouraged me to do this, so blame her for what follows. Frugality comes in some funny packages sometimes. It was said by someone smart that, if you want to use an alternative to windows, you can either spend money and get a Mac, or you can spend time and use Linux. As far as I can tell, this is a hopelessly true statement. Since I have far more time than money, I've made the switch over to using Linux to run my computers instead of Windows. Linux is is the basis for a variety of computer operating systems. It's ...

  Change in Perspective, Change of Routine admin, career, kitchen sink | (1)

  Every Tuesday is Kitchen Sink day at Living Behind the Curve. In retrospect, it may not have been the smartest idea to change jobs just before finals week. It's not due to the time and effort involved, because I've actually been able to devote more time to school. For me, it's all about the routines. I am a creature of habit, and as long as I can stay within those routines and habits, I can run at 110%. It's not the small things, necessarily (I can function with minor interruptions), but the big things, or rather, the accumulation of ...

  July Net Worth Update emergency fund, frugality, goals, kitchen sink, real estate, retirement, wealth | (0)

  The drop in net worth we experienced in June was nothing compared to July. The Zestimate of our house dropped yet again, and my 401(k) portfolio plummeted with the rest of the market. So, how close did we come to meeting our goals? Increase net worth by 1% Not even close. We dropped into the negative numbers this month. Purchase Mer’s new laptop Score! The laptop should ship this week, although Dell hasn't charged us for it yet. Build our emergency fund by $500 So very close - it's up $455.97. Create three-year financial plan Well, we're closer than we were. We've talked about our ...

  Book Give Away: Rich Dad, Poor Dad book review, kitchen sink, personal finance, self help | (6)

  Every Tuesday is Kitchen Sink day at Living Behind the Curve. I had a brilliant idea a few weeks ago, that I needed to read more books, immediately followed up by a second brilliant idea that I could do double duty by picking books that I could review here, and that immediately created the third brilliant idea that I could then give away the books and create a feeding-frenzy-like reaction which would no doubt help rocket me forward to fame and fortune (more on that later). So, armed with my brilliance and a couple of bucks, I hit my new favorite ...
