Anyone ever use BudgetPulse.com?

I've signed up for it and I really like it. I've decided to strictly budget now that I'm back in school. It's kind of embarrassing seeing how much money I've wasted.

Yea, you just type in what you bought that day and it groups it into a bunch of stuff, you can view it in a bunch of different charts and comparisons and stuff too.

So far I highly recommend it, I plugged my info manually into it for the last month and it took me about twenty minutes to set it all up.

Why not do the install yourself?

have you decided who or how you're going to be tuned?

If you haven't, I'd like to throw my hat in the ring to help you out;
I could talk to Vince to see about getting you a "base" tune (which should be doable) - then do some datalogging...
I have family in Lethbridge so I could bomb down there to help out.

^^ bolded part is key.

it's probably the only reason why I'm not broke & in debt.

... on a related note;

My room mate is moving out (I saw it coming a mile away);

Great location in Riverbend - Calgary Rooms For Rent, Roommates - Kijiji Calgary Canada.

If any of you know someone whom you would vouch for being tidy/reliable ~ please keep me in mind.

Having a room mate really does make my finances that much better ~ I'm not going to put up a "woe is me" post ~ but the asking "rent" is less than half of a mortgage payment ~ then I have utilities ect on top of that.

I did nothing wrong - which seems to be your assumption from the above quote (joking or not).

I got the vibe before he moved in that it would be short term;
One of the things he said when we met up was that he liked the fact that I was fine with a month to month deal, and he wanted to have a sit down at the end of the first month (he was originally going to move in on Fed 1st) to figure out what was going on, or if he had any concerns ect...

he mentioned in passing a couple times about his best friend who was initially contemplating, then apparently decided to move to calgary.

We grabbed a bite last weekend and he told me that him and his friend had found a house to rent for March 1st ~ but he offered to stick around for another month...

He was VERY easy going - which was nice.

Oh well, at least I had a little over a month where I didn't have to check my balance before contemplating to go out for wendy's

I like having a place all to my own, I mean this means I don't have to contend with someone elses mess, I don't have to worry about bothering someone with my music, I can walk around in the buck ...

but a room mate is something I am leaning towards thinking I should have...
at the same time though, I'm contemplating helping someone out...

Black LNF with low rise and a Shaganappi sticker at Park Place in Lethbridge yesterday. Noteworthy because there are only 1 or 2 in this entire city, I'm pretty sure.

Just got a letter from them yesterday, I don't know if I got in yet... I definitely regret slacking in grade 12 because I might have to upgrade some marks before I can get into avionics.
