So, first things first, I am no financial guru or planner and please don’t take this as advice but, after reading over my latest IRA statement and seeing the thousands of dollars I’ve lost it’s really made me think…401K, Roth IRA…all very discouraging.
After thinking it over and talking with my brother I soon realized, I should have started stock trading instead of letting my money rot in my IRA. My older brother cashed out his IRA before the market crash and started doing online trading and he’s actually made some money in this down economy.
If only I could turn back the clock and look into an online broker to manage my savings rather than chancing it in this unstable economy. DOH!

If you haven’t already noticed my designer is a DICK and upgraded a new WP template without me being able to make some changes. With that being said, my site will look a little funky for the next couple days but will be redesigned and look HAWT after it’s complete.Â
wOrd!

I was reading a news article the other day on cancer statistics and came across some horrible news. After looking over some information I read that lung cancer is the second most common cancer in men after prostate cancer. Also, lung cancer accounts for about 15% of all new cancers and during 2008, it was projected that there would be about 215,020 new cases of lung cancer (114,690 among men and 100,330 among women).
Not only is this horrible news because it’s a horrible disease, and it appears that lung cancer treatment is not working as the CDC reports an increase in people diagnosed but, this news is extremely bad for my brothers and me. The reason being is that my father passed away earlier this year from prostate cancer and my uncle just had his prostate removed because he was diagnosed with the disease. Not only are my chances of getting prostate cancer like over 60% now but I’ve smoked in the the past, so have my brothers (some still do) and now our chances of lung cancer has increased. DAMN IT!
This was news to me that I thought I should share as it looks like if you are unfortunately at risk of some type of cancer you could be at higher risk of others now also.
