I’m finally learning how to do all the cool social networking stuff on the internet! Ever since I graduated from college (7 years ago), I haven’t really kept up to date beyond emailing.
Recently I’ve been on a roll, first I learned to text message on my Sprint Centro with the SERO plan [1] and now I’m finally into some of the technology on the web. Here’s how to find me:
- Twitter: My Dollar Plan [2]: Read what I’m doing.
- Stumble Upon: Madison DuPaix [3]: See what articles I like this week.
- Facebook: Madison DuPaix [4]: I’m still learning what exactly I should be doing with Facebook!
Want to learn more about me and My Dollar Plan? David at My Two Dollars interviewed me [5] recently.

Speaking of job quitting… Brip Blap did just that last week [11]. Read the good and the bad about his new move and see if it will be permanent.
Allowances
Reviewing my children’s allowances [12]
With two kids still in diapers, we haven’t hit the allowance phase, but it is something I’m considering. See how one family does it and if it is working or not.
Do You Pay Your Kids an Allowance? [13]
Instead of an allowance, this family uses a commission schedule.
