On tax returns and economic stimuli
So, as I’ve made clear in the past, I’ve decided to take on my debt full-tilt using ideas from Dave Ramsey’s books and various financial blogs I read. My budgeting earlier this year was skewed by irregular income for a couple of months, courtesy of leaving teaching, having unemployed time, then starting a new gig. I’ve been chipping down at one debt in particular these past few months — it’s a credit card where one charge went just over the credit limit, blooming in fees and extra charges beyond what I could pay during my paycheck-to-paycheck living while teaching.

Yahtzee strikes again
I don’t even bother keeping up with commercial video games much, as I’m unlikely to buy them, and very few are made for people like me. That said, I faithfully watch Yahtzee‘s video reviews at The Escapist.
