Broke Ass Financial Coaching: How to Save Money

Would you rather spend $2 on average per day on coffee or have $119,754 in 40 years? (based on 6% annual interest rate, from http://finishrich.com/lattefactor/)

You may say yes and you may say no. I don’t judge you either way. There are many things I would rather experience today than have lots of money later. However there are other things I choose to go without. What I want for you is to know your priorities and to make an intentional and conscious choice versus an unconscious one.

FREE Yuengling Beer at Savalas

Going to Savalas may be the closet you’ll get to spelunking in an urban area. The building is dark, long and skinny. The booths are giant and engulfing like a crevasse, and the feeding trough-style sinks are similar to a hidden stream system. But unlike in a real cave, you don’t have to worry

Euripedes’s “Cyclops”: The Oldest Play About Drinking

I remember first hearing the name Euripedes in 6th grade when we were studying Greek something or other.  Or maybe it was drama.  Regardless I loved the way the name just rolled off the tongue and there was a good 10 year period where I was convinced that I wanted

Late Night 2-4-1 @ Harvey’s

Yours truly used to actually work at Harvey’s, and even then I was kind of embarrassed to say so.  The place is over-priced and serves pretty crappy food.  That, and although I know its named in honour of Mr. Milk, one can’t help but feel its more using the name

TONIGHT!! FREE Music plus Richie Cunning’s Album Release Party!!

There are some things I’m better at than others.  Math?  Not so much.  Throwing parties?  Absolutely!  Any of the 1,500+ people who attended the release party for my SF book or my Fuck the Recession Party can attest to that.  Those same people can also attest to the fact that

My Favorite Thing in NYC: Drop Off Laundry

New York City is a money sucker. Two dollar ATM fees at places that don’t take cards. Five dollar boxes of graham crackers. I occasionally get resentful that groceries and the subway cost money, usually the week when rent’s due. I hear people on the real estate porn channel say

The Church Key

I have the unfortunate distinction of having known Jason King for many, many years.  I knew him when he was a long haired metal head who wore nothing but Pantera and Cannibal Corpse t-shirts.  I was around for his brief and, dare I say, mediocre foray into motorcycle maintenance.  Hell,
