Don't believe the Iphone hype!

Although very attractive, don't be fooled by Apple's iPhone. It is the most arrogantly, overrated cell phone that I've come across recently. Most low budget phones can forward simple text messages, not the iPhone. Most popular phones have some sort of access to instant message, not the iPhone. This phone costs in the mid-$400's and Apple only provides a 1 year LIMITED warranty that covers only defective phones and an additional extension for the low price of $69.99 (gas, thanks). There is NO insurance for this phone that I know of. And don't crack the screen, the geniuses at the genius bar can't recover the data. Oh, but they do refer you to an outside company who may or may not be able to help; cost is approximately $1000 for a consultation. Sounds like another business getting over on another (thousand) consumers. Tell me about your iPhone woes.

money...goes faster than it comes...


I am paid on the 1st and the 15th...bills are mailed out on the 10th and the 20th. Fortunately for me I have been able to make my cash flow steady; however, recently I have been noticing the amount I keep declining. I look at the hours I worked and their the same, I look at the fridge and it looks empty, I look at my closet and nothing new....what going on? Inflation. I can't buy anything anymore without taking a step back and confirming I am not buying on impulse...I HATE IT! Well throughout this blog we will be sharing our thoughts on what it is that we speculate is experiencing inflation and possibly together we can gain an advantage by sharing ideas of how to get around the invisible thieves.
