material possessions are worthless 3 years ago

Macs ROCK, but you can get a cheap dell for $400. Why not save the money and take an extra vaction this year or give to a charity.

Instead of having 15 IE windows open, you can have three Firefox images open! I love it.



Peace Corps
Starting to see progress 3 years ago

I am paying off my debt so that I can join the Peace Corps. I am starting to see some progress. I am down to $35K from $39K. I am auctioning off advertising space on my car and that seems to be going well.

I am hopeful that by April I will be down to $30k!



Become carbon neutral
Solar Energy is almost economically feasible 3 years ago

Thanks to Tammy’s blog, I found RealGoods.com. From the site: At Real Goods, we’ve been selling solar since 1978, when the price was well over $300 per watt or more than $6 per kWh (kilowatt-hour).

Today, with State of California incentives, that $6 per kWh cost has come down to around $.12/kWh, a 98% drop in only 24 years! What this means for you is that you’ll be guaranteeing yourself an electrical rate of $.12/kWh for the next 30 years, over which time we all know electrical rates from the utilities will be sharply increasing.

sail
Sailing is the best 3 years ago

Don’t be rushed because when your sailing, your going nowhere fast.

However, its a great time. My father bought a sailboat two years ago. He and I sailed it from Marinette, WI to Duluth, MN. In the process we crossed two Great Lakes and went to Canada.
