cost averaging

Posted on 12 March 202012 March 2020 By antipaucity No Comments on cost averaging

There’s often irrational panic in investment markets. Most recently that’s been due to the Wuhanvirus/coronavirus/covid19 scare. If you’re selling while the stock market is falling, you’re losing money. You want to buy low, and sell high – but since you can never know where either the bottom or top is, how can you mitigate against…

one-time universal basic income

Posted on 24 September 201924 September 2019 By antipaucity 3 Comments on one-time universal basic income

A lot of talk has been made in the past couple years (and even currently by one of the fellas running for the 2020 Democratic Party nomination to be their candidate for President) of governments (which really means taxpayers) funding a universal basic income. Alaska’s been doing something like this for close to 40 years….

the ultimate measure of financial success

Posted on 29 April 201425 April 2014 By antipaucity No Comments on the ultimate measure of financial success

How many times have you heard someone suggest that all their financial problems would magically disappear if they only made more money? But high incomes can’t guarantee financial freedom; there are countless examples of people who earned millions yet still ended up bankrupt. The common thread among folks who get into financial trouble — no…

evaluating “work from home” “opportunities”

Posted on 25 July 201323 July 2013 By antipaucity No Comments on evaluating “work from home” “opportunities”

It seems the number of advertised “work from home” “opportunities has gone ever higher since the advent of prolific social networking. A not insignificant portion of these opportunities really are legitimate – 31, Avon, Mary Kay … – but a lot of them at the very least feel scammy. The good ones tell you everything you…

check your home, auto, and plp insurance policies

Posted on 23 July 201310 March 2014 By antipaucity 1 Comment on check your home, auto, and plp insurance policies

Every few months to year I take a look around to see if anyone can give me a better rate on my auto & renters’ (home) insurance. This month, after 3 years, I found a carrier who could knock about $60 a month off my payment *and* give me more coverage. Interesting things I learned…

civchoice.com

Posted on 14 June 201312 June 2013 By antipaucity No Comments on civchoice.com

I found out about a super cool company a few days ago – CivChoice. The basic gist is that you create an account with CivChoice, put money into it (which is a one-way street: it’s a “donation” to CivChoice), and from there you divvy it out to the charities of your choice. You get a…

the gold standard

Posted on 3 March 201212 September 2012 By antipaucity 1 Comment on the gold standard

This is going to ramble a bit, and I’m not 100% sure my opinions are even remotely reasonable, but I had a great conversation on the Gold Standard recently, and thought sharing that would be fun. The quoted sections are relevant parts of the conversation from my friend*, and the unquoted segments are my responses….
