    Three wallets: one for money and often-used cards, one for the seldom-used cards and store cards, and one for business cards; ipod and earbuds; hand sanitizer; a couple of pens; several lip balm options, and some change.

  • How to Make Moonshine   16 years 4 weeks ago

    Not quite a road map to your house, but culchie did help he get where you are generally from. Working from that, I think we should find you a specific recipe. Can you get cracked grains and smoked peat moss? Some VERY good water is abundant too I see. A Walking Man clone would be good too.

  • How to Make Moonshine   16 years 4 weeks ago

    Ok, so I asked a genuine question on here and no response. Not gonna llie, kinda pissed off. As I said before, after reading 300 some posts, I used non lead silver solder on the underside of my lid. Is this ok? And I used jb weld on top of my lid over the solder. Is this ok? I'm using a ball bearing as a pressure relief. Any thoughts? I saw the attention to the last charcoal bs question, but were playing with a still here. I need a little help. Thank you if you come through.

  • Live Abroad for Less (Also at Home)   16 years 4 weeks ago

    Good article. It is possible to live frugally anywhere. It takes work and commitment, but it can be done.

    The Internet is really a game changer here. I live in Poland, which is a very low-cost country compared to the USA, though the salaries are much smaller too. But if you earn your salary in USD, it's a huge benefit.

    Because I remember my Mom carrying a small suitcase with her life in it, I've chosen to carry a much smaller version of my 'stuff'.  I have my cell, sunglasses, pocket calendar, two sets of keys (house related and car), gum, lip gloss, pen-sized hand sanitizer, kleenex, various and sundry cards (id, gift, bank), a pen, and on occasion, actual cash.  Oh, and today, there's a CD of a friend's original tunes, so I can listen when I go out to run errands.

  • 5 Reasons Not to Apply for a Loan Modification in the Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP)   16 years 4 weeks ago

    If it walks like a piggy, talks like a piggy, by golly it’s a PIGGY!

    Brian Moynihan reminds me of that song by John Lennon and George Harrison titled "Piggies" I invite you to listen to this song on youtube and see if it appropriately fits.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIopI2isIKc&amp;feature=related</P

    Have you seen the little piggies
    Crawling in the dirt
    And for all the little piggies
    Life is getting worse
    Always having dirt to play around in.

    Have you seen the bigger piggies
    In their starched white shirts
    You will find the bigger piggies
    Stirring up the dirt
    Always have clean shirts to play around in.

    In their ties with all their backing
    They don't care what goes on around
    In their eyes there's something lacking
    What they need's a damn good whacking.

    Everywhere there's lots of piggies
    Living piggy lives
    You can see them out for dinner
    With their piggy wives
    Clutching forks and knives to eat their bacon.

  • Best Money Tips: Tax Day Freebies   16 years 4 weeks ago

    I love the Haagen-Dazs vanilla ice cream.  It tastes the purest, but that's probably because of the high fat natural ingredients. Plus those little Haagen-Dazs pints are expensive! Can't eat too many pints. Bad for the waistline and the wallet.

  • Worried About an Audit? Six IRS Red Flags   16 years 4 weeks ago

    This is a great list, and it all makes sense.  I'd think the biggest abusers must be small business owners who deduct things left and right without thought.

    Focus on rich people makes sense for more bang for their buck, but that's discriminatory.

  • Should I Take a Job That Pays Less Than Unemployment?   16 years 4 weeks ago

    Boy, does this all sound familiar! I was laid off almost a year ago and am on extended unemployment benefits right now. I recently interviewed for a company that I thought paid OK, but turns out to be not too great. Now they are offering me a job. Before I was laid off, I was making $21 and hour. On unemployment, I am bringing in $475 week. If I accept this new job, I will be making $10 an hour with the opportunity to earn a monthly bonus that is based on my job performance/collection amounts (the job is with a collection agency). I really want a job. This is the first I have been offered. But I know that with $10 an hour I cannot afford to pay my bills, even AFTER cutting out all UNNECESSARY expenses. I'm wondering if I should decline this job offer and continue to lose sleep every night over when I will find a job, or if I should accept it and begin losing sleep over not being able to pay my bills....Either way, sounds like I'm screwed. Any advice for me, please?

  • Live Abroad for Less (Also at Home)   16 years 4 weeks ago

    That's true! That's a second way living abroad can be cheaper that won't work living in your home country.

    For US taxpayers you have to live abroad pretty much a full calendar year to qualify, and it only applies to earned income (not interest or dividends). And, of course, you have to pay local taxes, which may well be larger than the US taxes would be. But if you live in a low-tax, low-cost foreign country and have a good-paying job, it can be a huge benefit.

    (Note that I'm no tax expert.)

  • How to Make Moonshine   16 years 4 weeks ago

    I was wondering about how someone could make moonshine from Wine.  isn't it just skipping the fermenting part.  Does it matter if the wine its self isn't very good anymore.  So pretty much, I have wine that doesn't taste any good anymore.  I want to boil it and take the alcoholic properties out of it.  Is there any abstract danger here?

  • Live Abroad for Less (Also at Home)   16 years 4 weeks ago

    One thing that hasn't been considered yet - the foreign earned income exclusion!  If you live abroad full time and still make a salary in USD, you pay very little if any federal income tax.

  • Ask the Readers: What's In Your Wallet?   16 years 4 weeks ago

    I try to stay pretty simple in my purse.  I carry my cell phone (which has my calculator, pictures and contacts in it), keys (with a medicine vile on it, and my small beaded Quaker S.P.I.C.E./cross keychain), chapstick and wallet--in my wallet is my DL, debit card, AAA card, one bandaid, 2 folded checks, one-card calendar (b/c I have a weird schedule), a mini post-it "want" list, metal fingernail file, and the inside ink part of a pen--in a plastic sleeve that I made for it, and coupons and money if I'm lucky enough to have them.  I'll start carrying my health insurance card, too, when we get that again!  I keep things like my library card and car insurance card in my car.

  • Ask the Readers: What's In Your Wallet?   16 years 4 weeks ago

    My wallet has two credit cards, two debit cards, my library card, my driver license, and dental and medical cards. However, I keep the wallet at home and take with me only what I think I might need, which is usually my driver license and a credit card so it's easy to grab any purse I feel like using that day. 

    Each of my purses has a compact mirror and a nail file.
