  Yep, We’re Bums family, intents and purchases, personal finance | (0)

  Every Monday is Intents and Purchases day at Living Behind the Curve. We went out of town this weekend for a family reunion, nary a backup post in sight.  We expected to, and did, arrive home around 3 PM on Sunday, with plenty of time to make dinner, do laundry, and gather our thoughts for today's post, or so we thought. We both fell asleep as soon as we got home. And so, dear readers, please enjoy this list of lunch-break speed links.  Our normal levels of chaos will resume tomorrow. | Five Gadgets that were Well Worth the Investment | Why we Chose ...

  Chicken Little Cried, “The Market Is Falling!” intents and purchases, personal finance, real estate, wealth, world domination | (3)

  Every Monday is Intents and Purchases day at Living Behind the Curve "You cannot help but look when the stock market is dodging into a ditch. It's like those celebrity mug shots, or CEO perp walks. We look." -Susan Tompor of the Detroit Free Press. Check out the rest of her excellent article here. It's a funny thing, this world we live in. I just started contributing to my 401k plan a couple of weeks ago, right in time to watch the entire country panic over fluctuations in the stock market. I'm sure you've heard about the stumbles the market and the ...

  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 ...

  Eschewing Insurance and Cashing out the 401(k), Part 2 emergency fund, frugality, goals, insurance, intents and purchases, lifestyle, personal finance, real estate, retirement, wealth, world domination | (0)

  Every Monday is Intents and Purchases day at Living Behind the Curve. When last we left our tale of financial intrigue, I had given up on the medical insurance game and was seeking a $10,000 self-insurance starter kit, in the form of my 401(k). Rather than bet my health and wealth on a blind roll of the dice, I decided to poke at the glorious interweb and see what I could find. Before I get started, a few happy little disclaimers: I'm not a professional, I have no idea what the hell I'm doing, and I don't recommend this to anyone. ...

  Eschewing Insurance and Cashing out the 401(k), Part 1 career, frugality, goals, health and fitness, insurance, intents and purchases, personal finance, retirement | (8)

  Every Monday is Intents and Purchases day at Living Behind the Curve. Health insurance is one of those must-haves, right? Everybody needs it, and living without it can be devastating... except when it's not. When I made the decision to look for part-time work, I had to take a very hard look at not only our finances, but also how I would take care of my health (Mer's company doesn't offer Domestic Partner coverage.) I did some research into self-insurance, and then sat Mer down in front of the whiteboard a little over a week ago to spew ...
