Art Of Money

If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Regular readers may have noticed that in my “Featured Links” section there are several links for payday loan companies.
Since my site doesn’t really rank for that phrase I’m not sure why, but I get quite a few companies wanting to purchase links [...]

An interesting week…seems like blogging slipped a couple notches on my priority list for the past few days.
The list looked something like this:

Find a place to live (since we’ve been given notice because our landlord wants to sell our place)

Getting the real estate investing bug while in Phoenix; I’ve spend the better part of [...]

The next stop in my “Ways I’ve Made Money” saga was a brief summer job I had when I just turned 17 and my dad got me a job in the factory he worked at. There were two of us, son’s of a couple of the workers, hired on as “Materials Handlers.” Officially it was [...]

Now this article is going to date me so for all you young Internet whipper-snappers who are reading this, hang on to your hats - here comes a history lesson.
When I was about 11 I got my first job as a paperboy - I know that is a terribly politically incorrect term, but that’s [...]

I was reading over Yaro’s business timeline and it got me thinking about how I got to this point of my life. Yaro’s version, I printed it out, is about 17 pages long and I’m a lot older than he is, so I’m going to have to edit the story dramatically or Greenpeace will be [...]

My wife and I have been systematically working our way through a review of our entire financial situation lately and of course the [...]

Cashflow 101 Game
To hell with other people…I’ve been having such a struggle trying to find other people to play the Cashflow 101 game with I just decided to play alone.
Welcome to the second installment of Rich Dad Wednesdays. Last week it was The Other Side - Too Much Money so logically this week I’m changing [...]

Robert and Kim Kiyosaki on the Celebration Show
While stumbling around on the Rich Dad forums a couple days ago I found a link that my buddy emorgan had posted to a video of Robert and Kim Kiyosaki being interviewed on a TV show that I hadn’t heard of called the Celebration show.
It looks like a [...]

This morning during my morning bike ride…
brief tangent: it’s funny now that I’m working at home I have imposed an artificial”commute” onto myself. I found that rolling out of bed and plopping straight down at my computer wasn’t very productive. I needed to get out into the air a bit to wake up my brain, [...]
