Election Day

Hopefully the country will end the day a little greener.

We have a long way to go!

Check out this site and see how out of touch we are as North Americans when it comes to commuting by bike.

No fancy cycling attire needed. Whatever you plan to wear that day will do.

Financial Crisis

I think it is time the US implement a mandatory personal finance course into the highschool curiculum. I can't believe that a country with such affluence can contain so many people with so little financial common sense.
When my wife and I applied for our mortgage it was pretty obvious that what we had been approved for was much more than we could afford.
Sure the US banks are partly to blame for offering financing people couldn't afford but each individual needs to know better.
The more people I talk to people about personal finance the more I am amazed at the number of individuals living way beyond their means both north and south of the border.
This is not sustainable and we need to stop.
Pay down those credit cards and make the commitment to only buy what you have money for in the bank. This doesn't mean you have to stop buying things, just stop buying what you can't pay for now with cash.
We are in need of a credit revolution as much as a green revolution.

Genius Idea if it works.

A politician with worse sound bites than Bush.

...and she is just getting warmed up.


I can't believe someone thought she was a good idea for VP let alone Governor of a State.
