I received a deal I couldn’t pass up. Free rooms in Vegas at a pretty good hotel. I haven’t been in a while, I passed when my buddies went a few months ago.

I can easily make it on a tank of gas. The odd thing was, I kept … Continue reading My Gen X Playlist: Take It Easy – The Eagles

You don’t make squat. Me: I have no idea. All I know is I only have $500 in my checking account. Roommate: You know what … Continue reading My Gen X Playlist: Life is a Highway – Tom Cochrane
When I was young and stupid. . . yeah, it’s going to be one of those types of posts. I was in my 20s and I was changing jobs. I had been with my employer for a few years and they had a good profit sharing program. If the company did well, they would add … Continue reading My Gen X Playlist: Leaving Las Vegas – Sheryl Crow
