Thoughts on Money, Investing and Life

I made a somewhat unexpected discovery last night: one of the radio stations near me has begun playing Christmas music.  Not just the occasional song or interesting hymn, mind you, but a constant, non-stop barrage of songs.  In the short time I was listening, I heard holiday songs I’ve never even heard mentioned before.  Seriously, am I the only person who never heard Dominick the Donkey before?

Now don’t get me wrong, I like Christmas music as much as the next festive minded Christian, but there’s a time and place for everything.  If you can’t wait until after Thanksgiving to unleash the full force of Christmas songs, I think there’s something wrong with the world.  To make things worse, I believe this same station was just asking people to go online to tell them when to begin playing Christmas songs.  Which means there is at least a slim majority of their listeners (or the portion of their listeners willing to express their opinions online) who WANTED Christmas music 24/7 to start in the middle of November.  I’m a little horrified at the thought.

Alright, enough of my yammering about Christmas music; it’s time to get down to the nitty gritty of net worth.

Not a terribly pretty picture; some Christmas spending (yes, even though I complain about Christmas music, I’ll still shop for Christmas presents whenever I can) and paying of various bills ate up quite a lot of my reserves, and without a regular salary, it’s been a rough weekly.  Hopefully, next week will be more fruitful and productive.

    Good work Rog! You should e-mail the guy from Suburban Dollar and get listed on his Net Worth Bloggers list.

    I e-mailed him but he never e-mailed back, but ti’s worth a shot!

    I’ll have to try that, FS; there’s just so many bloggers running so many lists that it’s hard to keep track of all of them sometimes.
