Haha I remember Mongooses! And I also remember never being able to afford one ;) Although, in those days all I cared for was the original Nintendo Game Boy. Cool you tried that Mentos experiment too – still on my list to try out.

1. The most I’ve spent this last week was on a Hotel Room (4 nights in Times Square for $500.00-Priceline rocks!).
2. Today I feel ambivalent towards money. Just not something I care about. I don’t mean to sound like a pr*ck but I have plenty of money. There are far more important things to concern myself with. That said, I used to be all hung up on money and that probably helped me somewhat.
3. Money can’t buy happiness. One free/inexpensive thing I did last week that made me happy was do a Diet Coke/Mentos experiment with my daughters. Great fun! Also, cutting a rather large check for Community Ministries (local food bank) made me feel like a million bucks. There is no better feeling in the world.
4. I will consider this week a success if I encourage, love, support and spend time with my family. That is what makes life worthwhile for me!
5. My first job was working at a bicycle shop when I was 9. I worked toward buying a Mongoose BMX bike. Took about 6 months of after school chain greasing, tire changing and bike assembly. Totally worth it. Mongoose was THE bike to have.

@J. Money – Hahaha! I think that is why all guys want to become lifeguards. I just did it because I was a water polo player and was at the pool all the time. Might as well get paid for it!

J, I moved just over 3 months ago from Windsor, ON, right across from Detroit.

Jobs are hard to come by anywhere, but especially there, one of the highest unemployment rates in the Canada I believe. It is getting better, but the city depends on the auto sector too much.

I’ve only been walking around my neighbourhood of late, but I want to get walking downtown again, it’s about a 40 minute ride there, but well worth it.

Those are the cheaper cigarettes, 10 packs to a carton for two smokers. I don’t like to buy them often, so I buy the quantity at once. Most of that cost is tax – tax is most of the sale price, and tax is added afterwards. I think it’s a great time to quit.

@Sarah – New radiator? Ouch. At least your car should be back in action now!
@Brandon – Haha, I never do brotha! I’m all about any job that gets your work out there and interacting with the community. Even more so w/ jobs you’re passionate about ;)
@JMK – Nice! I like throwing things on my card too for that kinda stuff, as long as everyone pays back like they should! I always have to keep an eye on some of my friends. haha….
@Trinnie S – Oh no, why are you going to lose your mind or cry? Do you need me to show up in your videos again? ;)
@Christine – YES! Good job getting that 401(k) up and running!!! My fave tool ever.
@Kitchen Penguin – Oh wow, did you ever live in Japan? Did you know I lived in Korea before? My mom tought English when we were there, she loved it.
@Jenna – I always wanted to be a lifeguard. Mainly to meet chicks, but also to be fit and tan and hang out by the pool all day long ;)
@Yana – WHAT? Are they lined with gold? No idea how much they cost since I don’t smoke, but man that seems like a lot.
@Ashley Jacobs – You graduated cuz you thought you wanted to be an “adult,” haha… I made the mistake too, don’t worry.
@Suzanne – Well only 5 more days to go until you need tat $50 in there – I’m watching you!! :)
@KaseyS – OUCH. Yet another reason I need to get back to renting – this home stuff is way too expensive for my taste. (and never heard of Fazolis, but it sounds tasty ;) I worked at this Italian place tha I can’t even recall its name… was a small local one).
@Techbud – Wipeout! haha.. never have I ever watched a show that make me tear up from laughing so hard. I don’t know what it is but that one just kills me! One of our readers here at Elite Edge Money was actually one it, did you know that? Pretty cool stuff.
@Nick – Well I hope your convincing works! If you need help, send him over here and I’ll see what I can do ;)

1. The most I’ve spent this last week was 67.61 on Halo: Reach. Not regretting that at all.
2. Today I feel happy towards money. After doing up my budget, I know I have extra money at the end of the month.
3. Money can’t buy happiness. One free/inexpensive thing I did last week that made me happy was walking my new city of Toronto.
4. I will consider this week a success if everything goes well at work.
5. My first job was being a paper boy. My first real job was at McDonald’s, did it for 8 years, but really helped through high school and college.
