- Just curious- how did Sarbanes-Oxley hurt accountants? I was under the impression that it created a lot of work for them by establishing new reporting requirements.

linklings, jellyfishy edition

We spent a completely non-frugal day with Little Buddy and Pumpkin at the New York Aquarium today. I find it strange that a “semi-public” attraction requires $12 for parking, $10 per adult and $2.50 for a bottle of water. So be it - it was fun. At the same time, I ... Continue reading »

sounds like a great day... and unbelievably cheap! i don't know where you typically go, but the prices you quote for admission and parking are low low low by nyc standards... and about half the cost of other aquariums around. i guess they have to cover the cost of care and feeding of all those animals your children thrilled to.

That sounds like a terrific day! I agree, NY is a bit pricey, but hey...it's home.

Also, thank you for sharing PF Buzz with your readers. I hope everyone will find it useful. Thanks!

Thanks for the link Steve.

Whether you ultimately choose to put your money in your 401k or not is personal choice. Just don't do it because you get something for 'free' (employer match; tax benefit; etc.) ... do it because - when YOU run the numbers and compare the alternatives - those 'extras' tip the balance of long-term return in favor of the 401k (will they? Maybe ... maybe not!).

You know, thinking about the NY Aquarium it is kinda beat up compared to the Bronx Zoo or Botanical Garden. Perhaps with all of the development that's supposed to happen over there the aquarium will be re-done? Of course then the prices may go up too...

Still sounds like a nice day though. I'm itching to check out some petting zoos with my little guy soon!

Hey Steve! Thanks for the electrifying mention. I also just submitted an article to your inaugural edition of the "Carnival of Careers". Thanks for starting this up!
