Dealing With Your Medical Insurer

July 31st, 2010

If you ever face a medical crisis, you’ll be amazed at how quickly the bills mount up, even with great insurance.

You could argue about whether insurers are inherently evil, coldhearted, or callous, but the bottom line is that insurers are businesses that want to get the most money they can out of you. Sometimes you will have to pay and there’s no way to get around that. However, there are so many mistakes, wrongly denied claims, double bills, and unnecessary charges at times that you may be able to reduce your bills somewhat, but only if you’re prepared to fight.

Escaping the Mundane

July 29th, 2010

Charlie writes in (this is an excerpt, because the full story is quite long):

What I finally realized is that I usually buy stuff because it makes me feel like this is all worth it for a while, that all the work I’m doing isn’t just going to feed Uncle Sam and to keep a roof over my head and cheap food on the table.

Sell Stock Images: Strange Ways to Make Money

July 26th, 2010

If you’ve ever read a blog, magazine, or website, you’ve probably seen a stock image.

These are photographs that someone has taken and sold on a royalty-free basis to the writer, publisher or designer. The photographer owns the rights to the image, so the buyer is not allowed to resell it. However, the buyer can use it on a website or in another publication subject to the licensing agreement set forth by the photographer. Using stock photography is cheaper than hiring a photographer and it’s much more convenient if you need an image of a far away place or uncommon object. This
