Can a Camel fit through a Needle?

10.28.2007 by Bob 11 comments

…the famous Matthew 19 verse where Jesus says it is,”easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” This is a verse that is so frequently taken out of context, especially by people who have never opened a Bible. FMF lays out a great explanation of the verse by providing the whole passage and looking at it in context.

Budgeting is like baking cookies

10.24.2007 by Bob 21 comments

For some reason the word “budget” has an interesting effect on most people causing them to cringe in pain more than the thought of going to the dentist. It really shouldn’t be as painful as people make it seem. If done correctly, it should give you MORE freedom to get what you want. If you think of a budget as a plan “that takes away all the fun” or eliminates your ability to get things you want, then you are doing it wrong.

I bought my wife’s engagement ring from Amazon.com and I learned a few things in the process… When I began shopping for my wife’s engagement ring, I started browsing “traditional” jewelry stores to get a ballpark figure for what I could get with the amount I had saved up.

My other status symbol

10.14.2007 by Bob 2 comments

I just was reminded of another status symbol I had when I was about 12 years old. This is bad. I was in a materialistic phase of my life and I would only wear Polo brand shirts when I went out with my friends. The problem was I only had two Polo shirts and about no money to purchase more.

What is your status symbol?

10.11.2007 by Bob 15 comments

The whole idea of a status symbol is fairly juvenile. I remember crying for hours because my parents couldn’t afford to buy me the “cool” shoes (I was in 2nd grade, I don’t blame them for not spending $75 on shoes that would fit me for 6 months). Looking back, it was a clear indication of low self-esteem.
