@Blondsak Not yet -- the main issue was really just not being able to get off work for long enough. Maybe later this summer!

On The Billfold on the Billfold (Logan and Mike Get Meta)
I actually think Logan had the right approach with that interview -- just letting him speak for himself, to dig his own hole if you will. If she had confronted him more directly, I think he would've become defensive, and I suspect his defense strategy would be to concede some smaller points while still holding fast to the big one (Dude, Yr Rich.) That said, I hope the negative reactions in the comments (which I agree with -- the only reason I didn't comment wasn't I would have just been piling on) don't scare off potential Rich People interview subjects, or result in only very apologetic and self-aware Rich People coming forward. I think one of the really important things this site does is present a lot of different perspectives on money, and if it were all just people in their 20s with liberal arts educations trying to Make It In the Big City the site would be much more boring and less special.

Whoa so apparently I just got approved for a $1,000 bonus. I found out about this shortly after deciding to pay back our Head Boss some money ($35) I owed him from when we were traveling that he surely had forgotten about. KARMA WORKS Y'ALL.

On Whereabouts of My Money After It's Been Transferred to Me But Before I Get It
Also, Logan, IDK how you get exactly paid but when I was freelancing I had a business PayPal account with a debit card attached. I could invoice my clients through PayPal and the moment they paid me the money was ready to be spent (or taken out of an ATM). You have to pay a small fee on each incoming PayPal transaction, but it was totally worth it for me to have the money NOW.

@BananaPeel Yeah I mean Amazon can get me any product I want in like a day, but it takes 3-5 business days for some bits to move from one bank computer to another? Seriously? It's not like they are manually checking each transaction (then they would have to charge you a huge fee) so what exactly are the computers doing? ETA: Oops I missed the tag, haha.

@Bill Fostex Dude, you're sitting on a goldmine. Now you can literally write about whatever you want, so long as you include at least one picture of Mr. Biscuit.

@CleetusVanDamme2 (What you say is kinda totally true but shhh don't tell anyone I said so!) (Though being able to walk five blocks to work is HUGE for me.)
