May 12, 2020 at 1:24 pm ET Welcome to the 139th Carnival of Debt Reduction, the Debtors’ Prison edition. We may not have debtors’ prisons any more, but there is still Credit Hell! According to wikipedia, a debtors’ prison was a prison for those who are unable to pay a debt. The first category for today are the progress reports of those [...] ...

May 11, 2020 at 11:29 am ET Just some odds and ends this morning. The beautiful weather we had yesterday didn’t last as storms rolled in last night, but at least this time there are no limbs down nor damage to the property here! The news says Oklahoma, Missouri, and Arkansas got hit yet again with tornadoes, so I plan to donate [...] ... (more) Saturday, May 10, 2020 Blog Carnivals and a Sunny Day (4 clicks)

May 10, 2020 at 4:09 pm ET It’s been a beautiful mild sunny day here! Hubby, son, and I went out for brunch then hit the grocery for a couple essentials while son got his hair cut so he doesn’t get written up at school.
The guys just embarked for the gaming shop, intent on getting table to use as a battlefield and [...] ... (more) Friday, May 9, 2020 From Debt Free Revolution - view blog entries - visit this blog
May 9, 2020 at 1:59 pm ET Just checked the account balance, and our “economic stimulus” payment is finally here. While others got theirs early, ours came when the IRS schedule said it would.
I am underwhelmed with the government’s “generosity” here: we only got $600 total, which breaks down to $300 each. Apparently an E-4 at the top of the pay scale [...] ... (more) Inflation Then and Now (7 clicks)

May 9, 2020 at 11:54 am ET I’ve been on this stagflation kick, and a few readers haven’t shied away from calling me out on the official BLS CPI numbers. This has sparked an intellectually interesting conversation, and a whole lot of mind-numbing research on my part in finding out how the CPI (Consumer Price Index, the government’s measure of inflation) is [...] ...

From Debt Free Revolution - view blog entries - visit this blog
May 8, 2020 at 12:19 pm ET Hubby came home early, surprising me at 0300 (zero-dark-stupid) when the dog woke up and barked at him as he fumbled to get the key into the door lock in the dark. He grumbled that the dog makes it difficult to sneak up on me in the middle of the night to surprise me, which [...] ... (more) Wednesday, May 7, 2020 Carnival of Financial Goals (6 clicks)
From Debt Free Revolution - view blog entries - visit this blog
May 7, 2020 at 11:40 am ET Everyone needs goals to work for and towards, right? And if it’s good enough for life and work, why wouldn’t setting goals be good enough for your finances?
While I didn’t make my goal of getting this posted before finishing my first cup of coffee, I did get all the submissions sorted and will have this [...] ... (more) Tuesday, May 6, 2020 From Debt Free Revolution - view blog entries - visit this blog
May 6, 2020 at 1:36 pm ET First up, I’d like to welcome the No Credit Needed readers who are clicking through from my guest post over there about becoming debt free. I wrote that post shortly after I hit my big debt free milestone, and the enthusiasm and exuberance still shine through. Feel free to peruse the archives and check out [...] ...

From Debt Free Revolution - view blog entries - visit this blog
May 6, 2020 at 8:42 am ET Over the weekend I had “the talk” with my son … not that talk. I talked to him about inflation and grocery prices and our food budget experiment, and how I intend to give him $5 extra per week if he agrees to stock up on items he eats constantly that are on sale.
He’s already [...] ... (more) Monday, May 5, 2020 The MPG Fuel Economy Challenge (2 clicks)
From Debt Free Revolution - view blog entries - visit this blog
May 5, 2020 at 4:10 pm ET Last month I posted several driving tips that get me excellent gas mileage and also posted about why you probably don’t get your EPA rated fuel economy on your vehicle. At the very end of the EPA fuel economy post, I issued a challenge for people to try the tips and report the results. George has [...] ... (more) Stagflation Survival Tip #2 Avoid Debt (1 click)
From Debt Free Revolution - view blog entries - visit this blog
May 5, 2020 at 9:47 am ET Here is the second “stagflation survival tip” I’ve picked from an older friend’s brain over the weekend: avoid debt. (First stagflation survival tip was stock up.) Gee, I say that one in any economic situation LOL so what makes stagflation any different?
Debt and Inflation
The big difference is that the talking heads and economic “gurus” out [...] ... (more) Sunday Night Insomnia (4 clicks)

May 5, 2020 at 1:05 am ET It’s almost midnight here, and I am nowhere near tired thanks to a good nap before work. So I could waste time sacking castles on a video game, or ramble here on the blog LOL
Some blog carnival notes for fellow bloggers:
I am holding the Carnival of Financial Goals on Wednesday. Blog Carnival was down part [...] ... (more) Saturday, May 3, 2020 From Debt Free Revolution - view blog entries - visit this blog
May 3, 2020 at 3:53 pm ET I’ve been highly critical of the Fed over the past several months in regards to their interest rate cutting spree and what it does to my purchasing power, calling them not-so-nice names of which I can only print bonehead, idiots, and stupid on this blog due to my self-imposed no-cussing rule. The things I say [...] ... (more) Random Thoughts Over Coffee (9 clicks)

May 3, 2020 at 10:03 am ET It’s still pretty early, and I am still working through my first cup of coffee. So this post is just a collection of half-baked random ramblings that are floating through my mind.
First up, most of y’all have probably noticed a new banner over in the sidebar. Debt Free Revolution has a new advertiser this month: [...] ... (more) Friday, May 2, 2020 Financial and Blogging Goals for May (3 clicks)

May 2, 2020 at 1:52 pm ET Yesterday I ran the budget numbers and blogged about how things are getting cut as gasoline and food rises. Today I got a reminder over twitter that I haven’t blogged about goals yet (thanks squawkfox LOL)
Lots of “weirdness” going on right now for us. I upped food and gas in the budget, but I am [...] ... (more) Stagflation Survival Tip #1: Stock up (5 clicks)

May 2, 2020 at 9:52 am ET I’ve started doing the research to compile my “stagflation survival guide” I mentioned earlier this week, and while Googling online has yielded no good results, asking a friend of mine who is my father’s age has yielded a good tip: he recommends stocking up on good sales for things you know you use on a [...] ... (more) Thursday, May 1, 2020 May Budget Numbers Still Adjusting Up (7 clicks)
From Debt Free Revolution - view blog entries - visit this blog
May 1, 2020 at 3:35 pm ET I just fiddled with the May budget numbers (on my own since hubby is down in the Fort Bliss area until next week) and while the overall outgo went down I am still not happy with them.
That $3.219 per gallon gas price I was griping about last month looks pretty nice this month! Our area [...] ... (more) Finals Finally Over (1 click)

May 1, 2020 at 11:28 am ET The tests have been taken, the projects are all turned in, and the only thing left for this spring semester is to wait for the grades to be posted! Thanks to everyone for their “good luck” wishes, it apparently worked with the organic chemistry final test: the professor posted the grades last night and by [...] ...

April 30, 2020 at 8:57 am ET Y’all have heard me gripe and grumble about the Fed cutting interest rates, with my main concern being inflation or even worse stagflation. Break out the polyester leisure suits and disco albums (yes, vinyl LPs), because it looks pretty official to me: Stagflation has returned to the U.S.
Short definition of stagflation
Stagnant economic growth or recession [...] ... (more) Tuesday, April 29, 2020 Finals Week Link Love (2 clicks)

April 29, 2020 at 11:38 am ET Two cups of coffee and I still can’t put my thoughts into coherent form today, plus I have to go camp out on campus again for finals … so it’s a link love post for y’all. My brain is in chemistry student mode LOL
First up, I need to get caught up on what little blog [...] ... (more) Monday, April 28, 2020 Safety Tips from your Pizza Driver (13 clicks)

April 28, 2020 at 8:39 am ET Saturday night I had some guy tailgating my back bumper on a dark country road. When I turned onto the two-lane highway, he stayed on my back bumper and almost got himself T-boned by oncoming traffic that I was able to easily clear but he shouldn’t have even tried. This is just the latest example [...] ... (more) Sunday, April 27, 2020 Numbers Vs Emotion in Money Decisions (1 click)

April 27, 2020 at 11:10 am ET One thing I truly love about reading y’all’s comments is they often make me think about things either in a new light or at a much deeper level than I had. Here’s another great example, in Eric’s comment on my post Raiding Retirement - A Huge No-No:
… I would have to sit down and run [...] ... (more) Saturday, April 26, 2020 Raiding Retirement - A Huge No-No (12 clicks)
From Debt Free Revolution - view blog entries - visit this blog
April 26, 2020 at 12:58 pm ET In my post on How to Pay For College, I referenced a CNN/Money article that encouraged parents to raid their retirement to pay their childrens’ tuition bills. Becca left a comment on that post:
… Where I disagree is the comment in the article about “raiding the IRAs”. That should never ever be done. No one [...] ... (more) Thursday, April 24, 2020 How to Pay for College? (2 clicks)

April 24, 2020 at 10:42 am ET It’s finals week at most colleges around the country, and parents of graduating high school seniors are facing a huge question: How to pay for college tuition, fees, and books for next fall? Well, CNN/Money tried to tackle that question this morning, and boy did they get things wrong!
The article starts off highlighting a couple [...] ... (more) Wednesday, April 23, 2020 Welcome to The Simple Dollar Readers (5 clicks)

April 23, 2020 at 4:21 pm ET I just got back from my organic chem test to find quite of few of Trent’s readers already looking around my archives and commenting. For the rest of y’all, be sure to check out my “Best of DFR” page for some of my favorites and my readers/commenters’ favorite posts.
