yes! i LOVE new york, but just coming off a recent visit - my gut reaction is that new york is a place people move to feel cool, but detroit is a place people go to create and be innovative and actually change a part of the world. pretty powerful stuff.
I think I used to try to buy happiness much more than I do now. As I get older, my happiness comes from my ability to save money rather than spend it.
I'd be interested to see how you're generating your "other advertising" revenue. How have you established relationships with these other advertisers? Have you sought them out, or have they come to you? What advice would you give to a novice blogger looking to break into generating advertising revenue. Sorry if I've missed that somewhere along the line, I've only been following your blog for a few months. Keep up the great work & thanks again for being so transparent with your data!!
I need to do this! Maybe I'll do the same thing this month. We just went on a vacation & everything always seems so scattered afterwards. We need something to kick start our budgeting/saving - this sounds like just the thing!
I am all about keeping cars as long as possible. We don't have a car payment right now and I'm hoping we can stay that way for a long, long time. However, cars die. And 230,000 is a pretty good life for a car. I'd say it sounds like buying another car would be a reasonable thing to do. However, I would not buy a brand new car. Buy a newish used car. You'll pay less than buying it right off the lot.
My husband and I combined our money very quickly after moving in together, and it's worked out for us so far :)
Wisebread.com posted an article today about splitting food costs - I thought it was an interesting approach:

i think you're doing the right thing by looking at all the possibilites. i'd do it if i could do it REASONABLY. if you're going to be scraping by each week and it's REALLY going to hurt, i wouldn't max it. but if it's only going to hurt a little - go for it!
Totally agree - the lack of pictures on any craigslist ad almost always makes me pass it over.
um - i love sushi. if i could eat it every day i probably would. i actually prefer the more authentic, mom & pop shops over the Americanized "fancy" sushi. There's a GREAT sushi bar/japaneese grocery store in the Detroit area called Noble Fish. The sushi is beyond reasonably priced and is better than any of the "fancy" places, hands down.
I have a standard order (its kind of a lot, but i LOVE sushi!) - spicy scallop roll (special, write-in request), tuna teryaki roll (tuna marinated in teryaki - maybe cooked), eel & avocado roll, and usually 3 pieces of nigiri :) NOW I'M HUNGRY!
Wow. Taxing sites to save print seems like the worst idea ever. It's one of those things that is such a bad idea that you think, "There's no way this is ever going to happen...right?" - and then it happens. I like Cuban's idea - people need to embrace change if they want to move forward, not resist it.
On the other hand, if newspapers become a thing of the past - what will we wrap our dishes in when we move?
