Instead of a party to celebrate that we actually made it to five complete episodes, we’ve decided to celebrate with about 10 extra minutes of fun.
This might be my favorite episode yet.
Enjoy!

Finally, I’d like to again thank everyone who’s listened to these early episodes of the show. They’ve been a blast for OG and I to produce, and the feedback has been outstanding so far. If you get a moment, please go to iTunes and review the show. As we receive more 5 star reviews, it’s more likely then that iTunes will help publicize the show.
I’m with you AverageJoe – I have memberships at places I’m already going to shop/stay/eat to get reward points. I just redeemed some Choice Rewards (Comfort Suites) for a $50 Amazon gift card and got a $15 iTunes card from a gas station chain in Indianapolis.
I know it’s marketing and there is the danger of spending more just because I have “their card”. I’m sure I have spent more because of it but, as you guys said, if you start with the budget then you come home from the vacation without debt.
Thanks for the shout out during the show (I still don’t know if OG has heard it yet…can’t wait to hear his reaction). BTW, I’m loving the tux in your picture. You wear that to the beach?
Oh my god…it’s vee-uh! And there’s no “y” in coupon. And please don’t say ay-pricot, even if Webster says it’s an acceptable pronunciation. Okay, that’s all. I don’t really have a real comment. 🙂
…we really didn’t have any either, and it took us over an hour to discover that! Thanks for listening to the show.
Guys,
Onr of you mentioned your wife has created a blog for your kids. Can you please share any info about what resources she has used. WordPress?? What a great gift. I’m desperate to get this started while my kids are still young.
Any advice would be very appreciated.
Thank you, Herb
Herbie. We used WordPress and Bluehost. We used Bluehost videos to set up the whole thing. Good luck!
