The IT Humidor

In addition to saving up for important things like a PS3, a new(er) car, and a new topcoat, I also have a few not-so-fun expenses to deal with this coming year. I have some debt to dig out of, some bills to pay, moving expenses, as well as tucking some money away for school and possibly getting some Lasik surgery if time allows for it. So, I’m budgeting and planning, putting money away while I’m spending my time doing that w**k stuff at my new job. Then, of course, there’s also the issue of fixing my lousy credit score. On the subject of money and saving, I thought I’d share some interesting links to stories I read today while waiting for my coffee to finish dripping.
