After a long hiatus away from the homestead due to travelling with work, I’m finally getting back into the rhythm and plan to post a little more often here.

Considering the state of the economy these days, I’d expect there a few folks looking for help in restoring order to their finances, and my hope is that QuickenEngineering.com can assist in explaining ways Intuit’s Quicken software can manage one’s personal finances.

I’m normally not big on “joke” emails, but here’s one that I’ll leave you with….

If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Delta Airlines one year ago, you will have $49.00 today.

If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in AIG one year ago, you will have $33.00 today.

If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Lehman Brothers one year ago, you will have $0.00 today.

But, if you had purchased $1,000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the aluminum cans for the recycling refund, you will have received $114.00.

Based on the above, the best current investment plan is to drink heavily & recycle.
