Cool Quote: "The roosters may crow, but the hens deliver." (Ann Richards)

Fun things to do before we leave Austin:
- Lunch at The Salt Lick (BBQ)
- Sunday Brunch at Fonda San Miguel (Mexican)
- Austin City Limits (try to score tickets)
- Bat Flight at Congress Ave Bridge
- Hike & Bike Trail (Town Lake)
- Cavern Tour: DONE!
- San Antonio (Alamo, Riverwalk)
- Houston (NASA)

BA (Balance Sheet Affluent, as explained in "The Millionaire Mind"):

Age x .112 x Total Annual Realized Income = Expected Net Worth

If you are 2 times your expected net worth, you are "Balance Sheet Affluent"

My goal is for my household to be a bit over BA (have 2.12 times its expected net worth) by the time my DH is 50.

Starting Number (4/30/07) = 1.32 times expected net worth

First Year Quarterly Goals:
7/31/07 = 1.440 [Result: 1.510]
10/31/07 = 1.435 [Result: 1.569]
1/31/08 = 1.430 [Result: 1.541]
4/30/08 = 1.425 [Result: 1.400]

Second Year Quarterly Goals:
7/31/08 = 1.550 [Result = 1.515]
10/31/08 = 1.550
1/31/09 = 1.545
4/30/09 = 1.530

Harris Interactive Points can now be redeemed for $5 Paypal payment

July 2nd, 2008 at 03:22 pm

Harris Interactive is a research company that conducts surveys on a variety of topics, not only consumer products but also "issues" such as health care, finances, politics, etc.

I've been doing HI surveys for several years. When you do surveys, you earn "points" that can be redeemed for rewards. In the past, I redeemed my points for gift cards at Target or Olive Garden. (Cash previously was not an option, so I figured that gift cards were the next best thing.)

I just completed a survey and when I went to redeem some points, I was pleasantly surprised to see that 800 HI Points can now be redeemed for a $5 Paypal credit. This is a brand new option. As far as I'm concerned, that's as good as cash!

If you'd like to join the HI panel, here is the web address:

Thanks for the tip. I do their surveys and have been saving up points. Cash is always the best reward. I'm glad they added that option.

Dobie - Same thing happened to me ... I'd rather have Paypal too. It was a nice offer while it lasted, but it sure did not last long.
