I just got back from my trip to California (which was awesome!) so I apologize for the lack of posts — we'll be back on track next week.

Money and Values hosted the 153rd Carnival of Personal Finance, which included Automate Your Finances, Feel Comfortable.

Using the web to save moneyThere is no doubt in my mind that I have saved hundreds and thousands of dollars by making purchases on websites rather than in Best Buy, Target, or any number of stores.

Our economic stimulus payment has arrived!

Even though the original pay days were supposed to start next week, they began going out today. As you can see, we've already received ours.

For a married couple of two with no kids, that's a $1200 direct deposit into our checking account. Add in the returns we got for our taxes (both have arrived), we've got a bit more money for our trip to California.
