When I was on vacation in southern California, I bought an Acer Aspire 3680-2682 laptop at a Walmart in Colton, California. It was actually on my list of things to buy while I was on vacation, simply because there was no way to get a brand new laptop anywhere in Toronto for less than $460.00 CAD plus 14 percent GST and PST (provincial tax).

It seems like the technologically advanced Japanese have moved passed the stone age technology of the 4 digit pin numbers for gettting cash from ATMs. Now when Japanese consumers want to withdrawal money all they have to do is show their palms or index fingers.

In my review about my Epson Stylus CX5000 multi-function printer I had mentioned about buying Epson compatible Inkjet cartridges from 123inkjets.com for substantially lower price than the genuine Epson inkjet cartridges and that the quality of the printing was close to using the genuine Epson ink. This post is an extension of that compatible inkjet cartridge experience.

During my recent vacation with my wife to Fort Lauderdale and Miami, Florida we went on our usual “search and destroy” mission for outlet malls. Our last excursion to the United States was Grand Canyon and Phoenix, Arizona back in October of last year and we were able to find a lot of deals at Arizona’s various oultet malls.

Last week I tested and built / refurbished two computers from scratch using Pentium Chips, motherboard, computer cases and RAM from 3 old computers from the east end Toronto City Recycle / Trash station. That was why I didn’t have much time to blog, it was quite a bit of work but the end result was that I saved quite a bit of money and it kept me busy.

Everyone has a different perception of wealth, however I think that most people would agree that wealth in terms of money allows us to buy stuff, but beyond that there is more. For example, it allows you to have more confidence and security. It gives you more freedom for your life and the choice to live your life the way you would like to. Don’t get me wrong, wealth is not just about money, other aspect of wealth include things like physical health, mental health, family, friends, philosophy of life and spirituality. Money is just an factor of wealth that allows you to have more choices and the ability to make the best choices for yourself and your family.

If you are a person who does not manage your money very well, have you ever thought why that is so?

I have, when I was in my mid-twenties, and I can attribute some of it to my personality, friends and lack of financial education. In school, whether it was public school, junior high and even high school there was pretty no course which taught “personal finance 101.”
