Free cash bonus for opening a checking account?
Oct 12
Not too long ago, Chase Bank sent me a card in the mail saying that if I opened a new checking account with them, I’d get their $200 bonus. Always being curious about easy money, I decided to read the fine print and determine what the requirements were and if it would really be worth it when I weigh in the hassle and time of getting the account setup. A few things stood out when I started...

While I have only seen the first Twilight movie and wasn’t too impressed, I have to admit I hold...
Tunguska Electronic Music Society
Aug 20

The music speaks for itself. If you’re a...
Volvo 960 mileage log
Aug 08I track all expenses related to my car(s) and here’s the latest fuel log from when I purchased it in 2008. It’s instantly clear that the mileage suffered when I started doing more city driving the last six months than when all I did was longer commutes. It’s also interesting to note the total miles driven per month. There were some months I drove well over 1,000 miles, with...
