Last night I had a meeting at my bank about setting up a Tax Free Savings Account (Does anyone have one? Thoughts?). You see, I’m a saver. Through-and-through.

Hair Affair

August 18, 2009

My whole life I would chop my hair off, grow it out and repeat. Finally, after my first year of college I was sick of never doing anything with it, other than a messy bun. I figured if I chopped it short, I wouldn’t have that option. So in August 2007 I took the plunge.

What kind of car should I get?

Back in November, Eric and I got in a car accident with my Ford Escape. Unfortunately, my reliable SUV was written off and we have been without a vehicle ever since.

Not having a vehicle has saved us a lot of money and it’s been great for the environment, but we are going a little stir [...]
