Follow the rules of the road!

I hate it when people lack the common sense which usually ends up screwing others (ex: me). This morning when I was heading towards the bus from home, I was standing at a major intersection (Wilshire blvd/Westwood blvd) when I see this Ford F150 take a left turn lane from Wilshire onto Westwood. Problem with that was there was no space so it was in the middle of the intersection blocking two lanes on Wilshire. That usually wouldn’t be a problem but the left turn light just turned red and now the lights on Wilshire turned green allowing people to move through the intersection. But wait, two lanes can’t!

This is my retirement plan

When I retire, this is what I am going to do. Cash out my money, sell everything I own, buy the book 1000 Places To See Before You Die and visit as many as I can, before I die. Here’s an example of some of the spots they listed.

Tying a Tie

Learning how to tie a tie (correctly and sharply) can always make you stand out among the crowd. I mean, it’s the first thing I noticed on a man wearing a suit (not gay).

Yay, tax rebates!

Congress approved the 168 billion last week, so I can get extra money this year :D .

Finance and tumbles

For the last few months, I have been keeping up with a number of personal finance blogs since they tends to keep me on track financially (which is to stop spending so much). You figure a college student, making barely any money, loaded with debt that this would be the last thing too worry about. But these days, everyone is starting to invest early and seems to be what most PF blogs lean towards. I have been for the last several years looking at my spendings but as I earn a bit more here and there, I spend a bit more so my spending/earn ratio never really changes.
