One year of gathering little by little

Exactly one year ago today, I brought Gather Little by Little online.

I wrote articles about various things, but mainly personal finance [...]

My wife and I were having a discussion last night about our house. As many of you know, we’ve been casually looking around for another home. We’re looking to move out in the country in a house with some land. I say we’ve been casually looking, as we can’t really sell [...]

Over the weekend I headed to the NC Mountains to spend the weekend with my wife and kids who were already there. While driving up, I really focused on practicing some of the hypermiler techniques I wrote about last week. The main one being going the speed limit. While it [...]

Earlier this week I wrote about some various low cost Father’s gifts in anticipation of Father’s day which is this Sunday. Until this week, I was expecting to get a video game for the Wii  and hopefully some great “kid made” gifts from my children. Turns out, I received a [...]

Gas prices are on the rise, and people are getting extremely creative in coming up with ways to get the maximum amount of miles out of each gallon of gas. A rare group called hypermilers modify their driving habits significantly to improve mileage and reduce vehicle emissions. Hypermiling also generally involves [...]

And the winner is….

The contest for the $75 dollar Amazon.com gift card giveaway wrapped up last night. More than 150 people entered. Each contestant that contacted me with the secret phrase embedded at the bottom of each article in my feed was added to a spreadsheet in the order I received the emails. I used [...]
