Banking From A Banker

Money, Personal, Work December 5th, 2008

A long time ago, I had written a note about some banking tips, seeing as how I’m a banker myself. I totally forgot about it until I had found it while wasting time on the Facebook. It bugs me that I hadn’t posted it on the blog, but I intend to remedy that now, with a few modifications/additions.

Cash Money, originally uploaded by vyxle.

Okay, not really free, per se. I just got my Economic Stimulus Payment direct deposited into my account. It’s nice to get a little padding in my cash flow.

Now what am I going to do with my newfound booty? There are several suggestions out there. I should either pay down some of my current debt or sock it away into my emergency savings funds (which I have slowly been building back up)… I really like the idea to “invest into career development.” That could actually be what I really need right now.

But isn’t the point of getting this cash to spend it? You know, help actually stimulate the economy? Okay. I’m down with that. What to buy? What to buy? Make a large purchase? Or spend it on a number of random smaller purchases? Food? Gas? Clothes?

Um… I actually have been wanting to get a new digital camera. Maybe I should do some research first… but I’m inclined to get a Sony Cyber-shot. I don’t know why, really… the Sony brand has just been growing on me, I guess.

Well either way, I’m glad I have some extra cash!

Hooray for Maryland!

Maryland, Money September 4th, 2007

No updates for the site as of yet. I’m working on coding a script for my education page. Hopefully I can reveal more of it later on this week.

But as a side note: Maryland is now the wealthiest state, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Hoorah! I think? Is that good? I guess if it is expensive to live here, it must mean better living conditions, right? I live in Annapolis, and while the housing market has been on a steady decline, prices for homes around here are still up there. And while some people bad mouth Baltimore, I think it has its nice parts as well as shady parts like any other big city. Although personally… I prefer Washington, D.C. ;)

Woo hoo! Us Marylanders are wealthy! “Yeah! Crabcakes and football! That’s what Maryland does!” Hehe, yeah… Wedding Crashers.
