There is some theory that says you have only completely mastered something when you are able to teach it to someone else. So teaching helps one learn. I don't know how to reach those in internet land who still don't know what blogs are, how to post comments, or what an rss feed is. But I think the more I write, the more chance my posts have of turning up on google searches, thus increasing the chances that someone will find one of my posts and learn something from it.

Yeah that works too. So what exactly is your motivation for righting(sic) to the public at large? For me, a lot of peers just don't know anything about money, --I'd like to think that I am a mentor at heart, always looking out for their best interests. There's a million sites out there that recycle the same information about finance. But none of them are bringing information to people who could actually take a lesson from it. How can we reach out to the rest of internetland who still don't know what blogs are? Juan (1mil) from millionster.com LOL@delete! Yeah that works too.

I keep telling them...just wait until you try getting a flight with it. I bet you will have a tough time getting flights on the dates you want. Anything that sounds too good to be true usually won't work out in your favour. My parents got sucked in on the Westjet Air Miles card for $80/year.

The plan is to go to Germany next year and use up all the points and then cancel it. A cash-back card sounds pretty good.
