TurboTax 2009 Sucks!
I picked up TurboTax over at Costco. The box clearly states that it will work on PC and MAC. Unfortunately, my Mac won’t read the CD. Here’s the crazy thing. I can boot up a virtual machine running Windows XP on the mac and it reads the CD fine in Windows? WTF?
I’m trying to load [...]

No More Plain ATM Cards?
I walked into the credit union office and requested to open a new account. The standard process was fairly mundane except when we came to the part where the rep asks me if I want a debit (visa/mastercard) branded card. I said no, I want a plain ATM card. “Sorry, we don’t offer those anymore.”
It [...]

Another Reason To Hate Facebook
Wow, just days after I wrote this post about Facebook, another article was sent to me about some privacy issues and this one pertains to personal finance:
Want a bank loan? Get yourself more Facebook friends — but make sure they pay their bills on time.

Imagine Adolf Hitler’s Efficiency With Facebook Access
I had originally entitled this post, “Facebook, The World’s Most Dangerous Application” but I decided throwing in Hitler would be better to make a point. I admit, I was peer pressured into creating a Facebook account. Many of my family and friends were on Facebook and kept sending me links or notes to it and [...]

Why Hasn’t Geithner Been Fired?
I’ve been too outraged these past few weeks to write anything of substance on this blog so I’ve stuck to the more mundane topics lately. I just don’t understand why Geithner and Bernanke haven’t been fired already. It’s totally disgusting that this guy as Fed Head for NY sent e-mails to AIG telling them NOT [...]

Costco Shoppers – My Jaw Dropped
So I walk in to Costco this weekend and my jaw dropped at the huge volume of customers but that’s not what surprised me. The large crowd was a bit of a shocker and I considered that perhaps the economy was recovering but then I took a look at what most shoppers had in their [...]

Executive Recruiter Called Me For A Job In Detroit…..Say What?
I’ve been telling my associates that if you are looking for a job then it needs to happen in January or February because that’s when companies tend to have budgets released and the window to hire any open positions. As such, I’ve started to receive calls from executive recruiters for some executive positions. I got [...]
