I still wonder sometimes why I put myself through such torture, but it always seems to work out in the end...

Instead of flying non-stop from Los Angeles to Philadelphia to get back in time for my 2pm class yesterday, I took my usual Sunday evening return on United from Burbank to Philadelphia via San Francisco and Washington Dulles. Having cleared every domestic redeye upgrade for as long as I can remember, I didn't give the SFO-IAD flight a second thought, even with more than a ...

Want to know how I made 30K free money each year? It is easier than you think!

I have always been interested in investing, but don’t have the time to monitor the market daily, I have a blog to write. I became aware of www.eztracker401k.com in 2001.

I've got a reader question that I wrote a response to, and after writing a long response, I decided it might be appropriate for everyone. Bakersfield Ramin writes...

Hey There!

So I'm in Dallas now, and i fly back to Los Angeles every 2-3 weeks, and I figured that American Airlines flies out a lot from DFW - so I'd use them. I signed up w/ their Citibank card for the miles. They gave me about 40,000 miles for spending 2k in the first 6 months and 1 mile for every dollar I ...

I learned something today: do not bother to call Continental Airlines if you find your flight is delayed and want to re-route. Just go to the airport and sort it out there.
