Do you collect frequent flyer miles? Have an MVP card for Food Lion, or a VIC Card for Harris Teeter? Maybe you collect Air Miles with the good ole Air Miles Card. When gassing up do you have both an Esso-Extra and Petro-Points card so you can collect at different stations? Starwood […]
I was recently offered a nice lump-sum of money to put an ad on my site. It was an ad for something I do believe in (insurance), it’s just not what I thought my readers would care to see. I said no because I find ads to be intrusive, especially when […]
When it comes to the buy vs. rent argument, we typically tend to lean to the “buy” side, but not without watching the market first. We’re living in the middle of a hot housing market here in Vancouver. It’s quite crazy, and there’s very little rhyme or reason to prices. […]

We do love to preach about selling your stuff. Occasionally though, we do need to buy stuff. Clothes. Massages. A car. Wait, what? A car? How is that minimalist living?
