Expatistan – Wouldn’t it be great if you were able to compare the living cost of a different city with that of your current location before saying ‘yes’ to that relocation offer? Perhaps you’re just curious to know where’s cheaper to live; London or Sydney? Well, Thanks to Expatistan, now you can. It’s super easy and fast. Simply type in the two city locations (only major cities at this point), and hit Go.
I compared the living costs between Houston, TX and Sydney, Australia. Can you guess where it’s less expensive to live? See the screen shot below for the answer…
CalcMoolator – Sometimes the most necessary financial calculations we must do to live within our budget and spend wisely are the most incomprehensible. Many of us don’t even know where to begin. For this purpose the Web has many online calculators to offer, but more often than not, it’s difficult to understand the breakdown of their bottom line figure.
Have no fear, CalcMoolator is here. This virtually all-in-one, free financial calculator “makes it simple to calculate your mortgage payment, compare job opportunities, make educated financial decisions like whether to lease vs. buy and ultimately save money.” CalcMoolator truly is refreshing because in addition to providing the dry number calculations, it offers the related explanation of what these numbers mean. This site is highly recommended for complex calculations such as mortgages and refinancing, loans, credit card debt and job salaries, but also for the smaller calculations we need to make such as tips and pet cost. See the second screen shot below for my estimated costs of having a cat as a pet.
