This is a guest post from Brian.
Most people can agree that one of the best feelings in the world is driving a car for the very first time. Nothing beats that feeling of pressing your foot on the accelerator and pondering just how fast the car can go. If you live in Canada, you get [...]

Life in a 490 Square Foot Apartment
October 16th, 2007 · 1 Comment
Yes it’s true. People live in homes that are smaller than your garage. And it’s great, or at least good enough that we can convince ourselves it’s great. But I truly believe everyone at one point in their life or another should try it out. Why? One simple reason… Simplify.

Experience Agents – The Experience of a Lifetime
October 13th, 2007 · No Comments
Check out this article on the new “experience agents.” They’ll fix you up with once in a lifetime experiences for a hefty fee. Some of my favorites include the Playboy Mansion Party for $3,900 per person (how’s that for a birthday gift) and the Fighter Pilot for a day ($1,195 per person).

Budgeting – Why Cash is King
October 6th, 2007 · 1 Comment

October 3rd, 2007 · No Comments
UK based Luvaglio has finally put something on the market that no one can justify. A $1 million dollar laptop. The tech specs are pretty boring but it comes with a diamond ring that serves as the power button and can actually be taken off and worn. Oh and the ring even acts as a [...]

I am an ectomorph by the pure definition of the word. To put it simple it is hard as junk for me to put on weight, it always has been. In high school, I so badly wanted [...]
