September 30th, 2008 — , Ask the Readers, interest only loan, interest only loans, jonathan papelbon, zillow from Lazy Man @ Lazy Man and Money
Every so often, I get questions from readers. I’d love to get more (contact me) but sometimes the questions I do get deal with topics that are a little outside my level of expertise. When this happens, I often try to direct the person to place that I think can help them find [...]

June 20th, 2008 — , Ask the Readers, Australia, Capital One, aruba, bankrate, conversion rates, credit card companies, phuket, saving money, thailand, visa from Lazy Man @ Lazy Man and Money
Last week, I mentioned how my wife and I are going on ambitious trip to Phuket (and Australia). It’s been a little while since I went outside the US. Last year, we went to Aruba, but I’m so familiar with saving money in Aruba, that I didn’t feel the need to conserve every last cent.

April 25th, 2008 — , Ask the Readers, FINOVATE, SmartHippo, Vestopia, events from Lazy Man @ Lazy Man and Money
This Tuesday, I’m heading to Finovate Start-up hosted by Jim Bruene of NetBanker fame. There are a ton of companies presenting there. Some of the highlights that I’m looking forward to are Buxfer, Loanio (are they ever going to launch), Mint, Prosper, SmartyPig, Wesabe, Zecco, Zopa. I’m disappointed that Geezeo isn’t going to be there. Lending Club bowed out, which is reasonable considering their quiet period.
I’d like to single out Vestopia and SmartHippo (not to be confused with SmartyPig or my upcoming start-up SmarterBoar). These companies have contacted me for one-on-one interviews. I’ve been [...]
