Well Not ever, but it’s bad from a financial point of view.
The Swiss_Mouse’s 401k came in and it was down.
Mrs. Swiss_Mouse’s Thrift plan statement came in, and it is WAY down.

But as the Swiss_Mouse heads into the late stages of his career, he wonders if he should be get more edumakation.
He’s mentioned his choices before, but the subject has come up again.  Recently a cow-worker got […]

The Swiss_Mouse ended the year with a net-worth increase of 14.63%.  Not bad, but not great.  Kind of like, it’s Velvetta, but at least it was fresh Velvetta.
The disappointment comes from the fact that that he was at 14.73% in August!
In fact the entire end of the year was a roller coaster.

14.73% August 1
13.56%  September […]

In a follow up to the Swiss_Mouse’s last post about the $10,000 couch….
Swiss_Mouse once worked with a young woman.  She was attractive, with beautiful eyes, long dark hair and with very large….ahem…shall we say assets.
Now this young lady was single, for multiple reasons.  One being that she had a mouth that spewed so many obscenities […]

The Swiss_Mouse sleeps in his car almost every day.
Seriously.
What are the benefits?  Well, first off, if you read up on it, “power naps” are suppose to help you!  Maybe.  Swiss_Mouse ends up being mighty groggy though.  Not necessarily a bad thing.   Depending on the day, the Swiss_Mouse gets in a 10 minute to 50 […]

Though still November it is NOT too early to think about goals for 2008.
As mentioned in earlier posts, the Swiss_Mouse writes out his goals both long term “overall” goals and shorter term achievable goals.
 November is the perfect time to start planning for what can be achieved in the new year.
Right now the Swiss_Mouse has several […]

If Swiss_Mouse could have a best friend, it would be Mr. Peabody.  Those of you 35 and older will know who I am talking about.
 
First off he is a dog.  Dogs rock.  Cats suck.  Granted, he wears a bow tie and glasses and his vocabulary is approximately 20 times larger than the normal person, […]

The Swiss_Mouse gives, not until it hurts, but he gives….
The Swiss_Mouse currently uses a nifty program called Deduction Pro that came bundled with his H&R Block Tax software.  It makes tracking and “fair value” calculations pretty easy.  It handily exports into TaxCut.
