Cheap Music on iTunes

February 4, 2008

iTunes LogoMany people cringe when they hear FREE MUSIC. I am a one of those. But, I have to say the FREE MUSIC on iTunes has won me over. Many people are on iTunes and many people know that they give away one free song a week. These songs are from all sorts on genre’s (country, rap, pop…you get the idea). I have been very loyal to the free song each week and I have to say I’ve filled a few CDs up just from the songs I’ve downloaded.

The Ultimate Cheapskate

January 31, 2008

Jeff YeagerDubbed ‘The Ultimate Cheapskate’ by Today’s shows Matt Lauer, Jeff Yeager is one of the cheapest men you will find.

Excerpt from Washington Post:
“”We spend more money than we need to spend just to be happy,” Yeager said. “Eighty percent of the books in the market are about how to make more money. My book is about how to live a good life on little money.”

For example, he suggests holding an occasional fiscal fast in which a family refrains from spending a single dollar for a week. He also recommends shopping smarter, volunteering, paying off home mortgages as quickly as possible, trading a car for a bicycle, living within a budget at 30 years old and staying there, and hanging up the cellphone for good.”

I’ve read about a fiscal fast and wondered if I should do one. I think i will…details to come.
