What an interesting past couple of weeks! The FBI shut down online poker in the U.S., angering many poker players and casting doubt on the stability of the game. Their domains were initially seized, with players ending up at a warning page, but were later returned in a deal that U.S. players be prevented from [...]

My Changing Personality
Back in university, I took the Myers-Brigg personality test and ended up as an INTJ. I recently took the test again, and this time I ended up as an INTP. So, has my personality changed over the past couple of years? Could there be a difference in the content of the tests, perhaps? So, what [...]

It was only last year that I wrote a post about the Canadian dollar hitting parity, something that was quite a feat considering that it was digging around 60-70 cents back in the early 2000s. Parity is exciting to Canadians, because it makes us feel that our dollar has real purchasing power, and at the [...]

Children Change Everything
The following is a Yakezie Blog Swap by Joe Edward. Growing up, my parents always taught me and lived their life to be financially responsible. When I got out of college, I just did what I was taught. When I got my first job, I lived below my means, saved and put money in my 401K. [...]

Arizona Mayor’s Failure To Avoid Bankruptcy Should Come As No Surprise
The following is a guest post by Cole Collins. Despite the impression you might get from the name of our town, the people living around the area aren’t actually that fond of the unexpected. Tell the truth, most folks used to get the wrong impression as soon as they caught sight of one of the [...]

Stay at Home Dads and Suga Mamas: When the Woman Becomes the Primary Breadwinner
In some species of nature, females dominate. I wouldn’t want to mess with a momma bear with a cub, that’s for sure. However, humans have for a long time had the idea that women were the “more frail” sex and, at least in public life, they were expected to stay in the background. The men [...]
