  1. @BobTheTeacher Sure! erica at erica dot biz -- I will be around tonight/tomorrow
  2. Virgin America flight from San Diego->San Francisco announced "Free wifi!" several times. Unfortunately, it was broken the entire flight.
  3. Personal finance folks: PBS's Frontline just ran a great episode on how credit card cos are bilking consumers. Full show@ http://is.gd/538Jj
  4. @brettmckay @ManVsDebt I just finished watching that Frontline too. Favorite part: Where the banker guy said "Um, we didn't do any surveys."
  5. @Matt_SF Come down to San Diego. Everything at least 30-40% off of peak prices is flying off the market. Some have 40-60 offers each.
  6. Top story on Yahoo! Finance right now: "Fed: Super-Low [Interest] Rates Could Fuel Speculative Bubble." They're just now figuring this out?!
  7. @InvestorGuide I rent for $3100. Mortgage+prop tax on same house would be $7200. I invest $4100/mo & earn money. Renting comes out ahead.
  8. @MattJabs @studenomics I wrote that post 6/08. Lowest-priced house was $489,900. Now (same zip code) lowest-priced house is $319,000. OUCH!
  9. @InvestorGuide Still far less, because you can always invest the difference in higher-yielding accounts. We're in real estate deflation now.
  10. @studenomics Your mortgage payment should be far less than your rent. Rent includes maintenance + structure insurance.
  11. @studenomics @MattJabs @BudgetsAreSexy Here's my rent vs. buy post (with tons of numbers): http://is.gd/52RbG
  12. @MattJabs @studenomics I agree with Matt. It will take forever to save up the $, but the housing market is still declining anyway. Wait.
  13. @WendiTV BACON!!! :)
  14. Bacon? Bacon bacon bacon bacon bacon bacon BACON!!!!!! (Yum.)
  15. @jdroth MyFICO.com often has specials where you can get 1 report for free. Get in touch with @myfico here for help
  16. @CoachDeb Twitter is a great way to meet leaders. I connected with the CEO of a large business on Twitter yesterday. He invited me to lunch.
  17. Did you get your free $3 in music downloads from Amazon? No catch. I just downloaded Michael Buble's latest. http://cli.gs/32Bv2z
  18. @tbisaacs Happy birthday! Hope it's a great one!
  19. Trying tapioca hot dog buns. Microwaved for 25 sec in a wet paper towel, they are almost as good as regular gluten-y buns! Happy. :)
  20. Watching: 40 Inspirational Speeches in 2 Minutes (http://is.gd/51XQf) -- This is awesome!
