Reading Time: 4 Minutes Hey guys! How y’all doing! And how’s those new year resolutions coming along? Keep going! I’ve added a new one to our list – we have to find a new place to live. Pronto. Not by choice you see, but because we have this crazy neighbour next door who has been causing malicious property damage on our apartment level. The guy thought it was a good idea to start hammering and drilling through the tiles and walls of our common area in the wee hours of the morning. Apparently he’s always been a bit unstable but it’s only in the last couple of weeks where his…

Which Financial Level Are You?
Reading Time: 9 minutes Hey guys! How y’all doing? Hope you been enjoying the weekend – plenty of glorious sunshine out there! MrsFrugalSamurai certainly did, for she went out for a hike with friends to the famous Wedding Cake Rock whilst I ran around throwing my weight around on the field (as a referee). During one of our breaks, I sat down to have a chat with a couple of my fellow refs.
