Heard a story that the Bernstein family used to pay for all of their advertising with credit cards. Imagine the miles those cats received!

I have two clients that insist on paying for big cases or recurring service w a CC. These are businesses of our same type that use us as a service bureau for things they donā€™t do.

As such, they understand I am taking 3%+ shot in the balls everytime, as they accept CC from their personal clients (we donā€™t, chargebacks from angry wives whose hubbies werenā€™t stepping out like they thought).

When I charged them a 3% surcharge, at first they bitched, but in the end all good.

Our one big client in a 5 year contract however mid contract mandated we get paid via CC and if we didnā€™t like it, so what, we have a contract rate and they are a huge utility, so FU, basically.

My point is that if you are paying a vendor via CC they are possibly building that 3% into your rates and what in your head is ā€œfreeā€ really isnā€™t. Niw, if it is like Wesleyā€™s story, then thatā€™s different.

Someone hasnā€™t spent much time in Vegas if you think cash is a waste of time.

Cash is, and always will be King, especially when you want something done AKA comped.

My wife works with seniors everyday, and sometimes they pay her in ALL coins, even pennies. Now THAT is brutal.

Luckily our bank has a fat-free CoinStar.

I wouldnā€™t say Iā€™m anything special by any means. Im not a wall street trader, i donā€™t have a fancy degree in economics or anything like that, no.

I am in my mid 30ā€™s and have put together an investment portfolio that i think will help my wife and i to retire by our mid 40ā€™s, however.

I have a conservative, relatively safe side of my portfolio and i have an aggressive side that has really, really been explosive in terms of paying off in a positive way. Iā€™m conservative with the earnings once i have them and believe in utilizing compound interest with these earnings so one day my wife and i can just relax and get on to enjoying life without the 7-6 grind.

Not sure who still believes in 9-5? I sure as hell donā€™t.
