We adopted a kitten back in March (Romie, pictured to the left) because I was wanting one. We already have an older cat (Toby, 5 years old) but he took more to my husband and didn’t want much to do with me. I was wanting a pet of my own, so we adopted. [...]

When it comes to online option trading, I really don’t know where to start. I’m really just getting into this whole “adult” thing of money and finances and investing. The most I’ve done when it comes to investing is to start up a Roth IRA since losing my job, and transferring my old 401(k) into [...]

Woo! When I logged into Dave’s Bank of America credit card account, I noticed that the $75 signup bonus was finally applied to the checking account we opened for that reason alone. Nice!

You can imagine my shock when I got our most recent cable/internet bill and it was hovering around $170. Yes, you read that right.
