Got a new monitor and now I am very poor again

This always happens to me, no sooner than I get a financial break, such as a rare overtime gig or a bonus pay from my job, than I lose it to some unforeseen expense, such as say, my monitor blowing up on me on a Friday night just as I was getting ready to settle down…

Mint.com as Free Budget Software = FAIL

I know when it comes to free budget software I really shouldn’t complain about a product I didn’t have to pay for (at least not with money), but I have absolutely hit my limit with Mint.com. I remember the glory days of Quicken Online, which gave me the ability to not only check my balance…
