No Olympics For Me!

Nick Steele Leave a comment

All this time I have been training to compete in the Olympics (in my head) in pretty much every event cause I’m pretty awesome at everything I do. But NOW, I’m giving all that up and will just go back to eating cheeseburgers everyday and never exercising. Or should I say…continue doing those things with a good reason! Why you ask? Why would I give up my dreams to wear that gold medal around my neck? First reason, I like TV and Cake (usually at the same time) and the second reason is although you win a bunch of money for getting a gold medal the government taxes you on the money AND the precious metal! Rude right? Check out the break down:

Americans who win golds get a bonus of $25,000 from the U.S. Olympic Committee. Silver gets you $15,000, bronze $10,000. After taxes, Gold medal winners end up owing Continue reading →

Fun Facts!

Who doesn’t LOVE fun facts? Well you probably won’t really appreciate these ones but that doesn’t mean that all fun facts are depressing…just these. Google has a very poor opinion of you, the “man” is no longer keeping you down instead it’s your parents and the smaller the town the more likely you are to be MURDERED! Like I said, FUN right? Check them out after the jump! (how sad is the picture for this post BTW…it’s like I didn’t even try)

Would You Like More Money?

Nick Steele Leave a comment

Of course you would! Unless you’re my cat who just thinks its fun to knock the quarters off my desk and lose them right around the time I need them to do laundry…little bastard. Since your probably human and live in the world that I do then you most likely would like a raise at your job. Well since asking for one would be the best place to start I’ll leave that part out. Here are some tips that Men’s Health came up with to guide you to making more money at work. Read them after the jump!

Seriously Considering This

If I knew that the operation wasn’t going to be done by a guy who quote “watched a lot of Grey’s Anatomy” then I would probably already have just one kidney (and if my perfect body didn’t end up looking like the picture above). Oh, and the fact that it’s completely ILLEGAL. But who knew that body parts on the black market could bring in so much money! Most of the items you will have to be dead to sell so it kind of defeats the purpose but the ones that will bring you the most money can be given up while alive!

A website compiled a list from FBI and other government reports to figure out how much different body parts are worth on the black market. The high priced one is your Kidney and it will fetch about $262,000! Sign me up! I don’t need the other one that much. Click the jump to find out what the rest of your body is worth

What Debt?

Nick Steele Leave a comment

I laugh in the face of debt! (HA HA) That’s probably because my phone has caller ID and when I screen the call I can say what ever I want. I don’t have any friends with 800 numbers. NICE TRY!

Most of us have at least a little bit of debt right? Then there are people like me who didn’t even know what “Credit” was until I couldn’t buy something with it. What amount of debt would it take for you to start panicking? After a national survey the number sits at $22,927. After this amount is when people start to go crazy and stress out. Me on the other hand, I stopped freaking out a LONG time ago because I decided that I don’t ever want anything nice that I can’t buy CASH (or lay-a-way). Yep, I’m a baller like that.

So again, I laugh in the face of my mountain of debt! HA…..ha…..ha….

COFFEE COFFEE!!!

Everyone enjoys a good cup of coffee now and then. Or in my case Vanilla Frappichino in the bottle from Walgreens (they never make it right at starbucks). There are people out there that get their fix of caffine everyday and those people are blowing their money! I don’t want to tell you how to live but did you know that if you saved all the money you spent on coffee throughout your career you would have about $25,000 to spend? The avergage coffee drinker spends about $11 a week, which for you Starbucks fans is about triple that, and multiply that by 45 years of working. That leaves the average person the ability to buy a new car CASH. Albeit not a super nice one, but it’s still a car.

Enjoy your Java!
