Apparently, I Have Personal Finance Super Powers

Exactly what powers do I have? That’s not really clear just yet. But so far, they involve me doing something I’m pretty good at: sitting on the couch.

I’ve just made my debut in a new PF Comic, a totally dorky-awesome series featuring personal finance bloggers who turn into superheroes with the powers to chop up credit cards with extendo-scissors or, in the current case, deliver pizzas to make debt disappear.

The new comic features Jeff from DeliverAwayDebt as a pizza delivery man with amazing debt-reduction powers. I make a brief cameo, and while watching TV on the couch (that’s me on the left), something mysteriously snaps in my brain:

Ahh … My head! What happened? Did I see one too many TV ads, getting me so agitated that I’ll soon turn into some vengeful Anti-Consumer Hulk or something? (You wouldn’t like me when I’m angry.) Did I magically realize that a rogue band of grizzled debt collectors is hot on my trail hunting down some bogus debt they’re trying to pin on me?

We’ll all have to tune in next time to find out.

Amusingly enough, this comic gave me flashbacks to college, where I not only reached my sitting-on-the-couch heyday, I also delivered pizzas as a part-time job I did when not sitting on a couch or bar stool.

    As Gas Prices Go, So Go Prices for Used Cars

    What do prices at the pump have to do with prices at the used car lot? They actually tend to mimic each other. Higher gas prices tend to cause drivers to want to spend less out of pocket on their automobiles. That means rising demand, as well as rising prices, for used cars—fuel-efficient used cars especially. Used car prices spiked last summer as gas prices soared, and then spiked again earlier this year as the national average neared $4 a gallon. Now that gas prices are retreating, relief is also in sight for consumers in the market for used cars.

    What’s the Point of High-Powered ‘Green’ Sports Cars?

    The best argument for going green is that it’ll help conserve natural resources and money at the same time. The new breed of “green” supercars led by Ferrari and Porsche doesn’t really do either.
