Stealth Wealth

Today Coldwater Creek shares fell $4.51 (-25.93%) to $12.88. About 3 months ago sold all of my shares that I held at $25.04. I'm VERY tempted to jump back in at this price of $12.88, which I believe is a market overreaction from the poor sales data that came out today. I know the sales is bad, but I don't think it was worth a ...

Today I got my new credit card in the mail after the first one they sent got lost in the mail.  I haven't activated it yet because I've been at the Dr's office and hospital for most of the day due to kidney stones.  I had to buy $200 in medication, but ended up putting it on my old card that doesn't get rewards, which sucks. That's all the ...

My investment portfolio, which includes my Sharebuilder, ESPP, and 401k accounts, is now standing at $5,240.89!  I transferred $250 to help me over the hump.  I'm working on getting to $7,500 by the end of the year. I also had $1.12 in interest paid this month for my Money Market Account, which only had about $231 during the month, but I'm building my stash back up. Tomarrow I'll post a ...

I was tagged by SavingDiva to continue Moolanomy's My One Money Advice (MOMA) Meme. Moolanomy is trying to promote financial responsibility and awareness in our hyper consumption society. The question: If you can give one advice, tip, or story related to money, what would you share? Well I kind of brainstormed and tried to think of a few ideas I try to live by and I couldn't narrow it ...

I was looking at some of my different graphs in Quicken and I found this one that shows how my investments have grown since the beginning of the year. I started out with $590 in January and by the middle of August I have $4,874. The investment accounts that are included are my sharebuilder, Employee Stock Purchase Plan, and my 401k account. Here is the ...

Not too much going on in my little personal finances. I will say that my spending so far this month has been minimal. I think I have about $80 charged on my credit card. Usually this at this point in the month I normally have about $150 charged, so I have cut my expenses in half. I have cut down on my eating out ...

Good News first...I've got the site back up after my mistake of deleting wordpress off of the server. I also was smart enough have back up files saved on my hard drive. Bad news...I later deleted my database, which is what holds all of my previous post. I deleted the database trying to fix my original problem :/ Well throughout the week I will try to repost some ...

  Instead of posting a blog for each of the characteristics I am going to put the last 4 together in this blog. Lets recap the first three in case you missed the first 3 blogs. 1) “Be a Consistent Saver” 2) “Pay with cash” 3) “Shop Wisely” The next characteristic is “Consider Previously Owned Merchandise”. Most of us know that as soon as you drive a new car off of the ...

In the previous two post I’ve mentioned the first two characteristics of a person with wealth. The next is to “Shop Wisely” An easy way to save money is to shop around for a good deal. Instead of making an impulse buy why not wait and see if the price comes down or if you can find it at a lower price somewhere else. Usually if you wait ...

The second chracteristic of a person accumulating wealth is… “Pay with cash” Paying with cash is in my opion the easiest way to save money. I try not to keep alot of cash on me so I can’t spend it. I do have a credit card and a debit card, but I try avoid using them unless I see something I must have such as new tires for my ...
