I have friends and acquaintances in all stripes, gay, straight..black, white, rich, poor and some in-between. You get the point. Yet the older I get as issues like health-care and finances come up, I am convinced that in America, everyone should spend a year or so living without access to health-care and basically being poor. Now I know you may …
I have noticed lately that folks talk a great deal about living simply. Yet when I think about that term I wonder what the hell does that mean exactly? For some folks it means living within their financial means and not accruing debt, for others it means getting off the grid and living off the land, for others it means …
Look, I know it summer time and if you are like me you are trying to enjoy these final weeks of summer before cold weather sets in…but where are you? I just realized that in the past few weeks my numbers are dropping off. Have I become that boring? Granted I don’t blog for others, heck I just like having …
I vent a lot about my financial woes here at BGIM, in part because in my day to day life outside of a small handful of folks, I really don’t discuss money at least my money or lack thereof.

Its a rare event..2 posts in 1 day but I really didn’t want to sleep on this. By now you may have heard about William Kostric, he’d be that fellow up here in my neck of the woods who decided to come out and protest President Obama’s stop in New Hampshire to talk health-care. Obviously as the media tells us …
Just a drive by post today since I need to be heading to the office, but I found myself wondering how do other couples stay sane and in love in the midst of the storms that life throws at you? I have written about my marriage in the past, by modern day standards I guess we aren’t doing too bad. …
