We are all somewhat the same, but we are all distinguished as different Spenditos. Some of us are more footloose and fancy free, others like to load up on more things at Costco or some giant warehouse stuffed with more stuff! It is one of the things that makes us all unique: Choice. Free Choice is even better if you live the right country. We all choose to do different things with our time, life and money. The way we spend it becomes us and our 'way of life' in how we express ... [more]
Alternate forms of currency: How did they spend it in the old days?
In the old days making a trade was the best form of commerce: "My horse for your two pigs." Although, not too sure how the livestock felt about being used as a currency or economic units.

The senate gave a message to Canadian Government to keep their hands off regulating these new virtual currencies. Bitcoin has ... [more]
Favourite places: Where do you like to hang out?

How could we ever explain the killing of life in our oceans and on our lands to future generations? The tar sands, steam and underground oil/shale fracking, deep sea oil rigs, the pipelines and the railcar oil spills ... all of which keeps happening. Will oil ever really be safe? Of course not, it was a bad idea to keep around this long. Could it stop, or would it stop if we all stopped shopping around to keep buying more gas? What if we all drove electric cars? No, nothing will stop ... [more]
If time was money, how much would it be worth?
Check out this time/money comparison: Let's say you had $1 million and you wanted to buy more time? How would that work? A) Buying time by the minute: So $1 million divided by 1,440 minutes in a day = 694 days. Then divide the days by seven days for each week and you now have 99 weeks. This would get you 1.9 years ... which is not too bad. B) Buying time by the second: So one hour multiplied by 60 seconds x 24 hours = 3,600 per hour each day. This converts to (1440 minutes x 60 ...
