Tracking My Finances In 2011: May Week 2
I have decided to post my weekly spending for the previous week on Fridays so you know how my cash has been flowing for the week. Please note that I get paid on the last day of the month so my cash flow net effect will usually be negative until the last day of the month.

Recovering From Surgery: Three Weeks Post Op
So it has been three weeks since my surgery and I must say that compared to the last time I am feeling great. I was able to lie down on my stomach last week and it was real relief to not have to go to sleep on one side so I can be comfortable.

Why Aren’t You Buying A House Instead Of A Car
I recently had a conversation with a friend who asked why I was buying a Lexus instead of saving up to buy a house. I had never really thought about that but it did trigger a set of emotions in me.

I have been thinking about getting this Lexus for a long time and it has been one of my biggest dreams as well.
