We were out to dinner last night and my wife couldn't decide between two interesting fish and chicken dishes. She asked the waiter to help make her decision, "Which is better?" she asked.

Pay it forward. It helps keep the budget in line.
I'm on a new kick. Laundering money. At least it feels that way...
We all know that a cardinal rule of personal finance is, "Don't spend money you don't have." Easier said than done, right? I have a Upromise MC. We're trying to stuff a few extra bucks into the 529's we have set up for the kids #CollegeNextYear! Upromise gives 1-5% cash back on all purchases made with the card. It's not a ton of money but we might as well get something for spending.
One of the features I like most about this cc, unlike other cards is that I can transfer more money to the card than my current balance (up to $500, same with AMEX). I love it! It's a great budgeting tool. I can better plan out and pay for the coming week of spending with $$ I HAVE. Remember the days before the now ubiquitous online account management/billing/payment functions? Get that cc bill and hold your breath opening it to see what the damage was for the month? That was like driving a car on the highway blindfolded! (Many of our younger friends never felt that pain #ShockAndAwe)
