The Slacker Method for Building a Nest Egg
Posted by Jacques - January 31, 2009
Saving money for the future can be a tough thing. Especially if most of our energies are focused on the present. If the world stopped tomorrow, would you think to yourself, gee, I wish I had spent more time on my budget?
While I certainly don’t condone forgoing financial planning, it can easily become an obsession. For me, I want to create it once, and then revisit it annually. In between those times, I want nothing to do with it.
Another problem with building nest eggs is that people tend to overdo it. While I agree more people need to save more than save less, we have to be careful to not let it affect our lives. Afterall, money is a symbol of time and power. We want to use it to our advantage, to make our lives and the lives of others meaningful and enjoyable. Too often people become slaves to their 401ks and IRAs without realizing how much of their lives they have sacrificed in order to retire. But what is retirement really? That’s another article.

Posted by Jacques - December 20, 2008
Seems like every Christmas I go out and spend money on wrapping paper, bows, and the like, but I always seem to run out of gift tags. I often waste a lot of time hunting down tags or going out and buying more. However, over the years, I’ve learned that people don’t really care about the wrapping all that much or even the name tag.

Twin Armada.com Clothing Store Relaunched
Posted by Jacques - December 14, 2008
A friend of mine and his partners have relaunched their online clothing boutique self-labeled as contemporary asian. They are extremely sharp about fashion and design, and although I am a bit biased, I really enjoy shopping for clothes at their site more than others. My friend shoots all the amazing photos you’ll see in the store, hand picks his models and inspects every product created by a slew of up and coming designers.
After months of development and with the help of the technical team at Twin Armada, the store boasts an improved and streamlined shopping experience and a gorgeous site.
